Description

When I create Gradle/Java Application and try to debug it, it doesn't stop when I press the "Finish Debugging" button. That is weird and certainly different to behavior of Maven and Ant projects. Example:

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        int cnt = 0;
        while (true) {
            Thread.sleep(1000);
            System.out.println("counting " + ++cnt);
        }
    }
    
}

Debug the project. Then press the big red button in the debugger toolbar. The debugger disconnects, but immediately reconnects again and the application continues. I find this unexpected. Output of one of my executions:

> Task :compileJava
> Task :processResources NO-SOURCE
> Task :classes

> Task :run
Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 5005
counting 1
counting 2
counting 3
counting 4
counting 5
Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 5005
counting 6
Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 5005
Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 5005
counting 7
counting 8
BUILD ABORTED

At the end I pressed the "small red" button in on the left side of the output window and that one terminates the app - e.g. workaround exists.
