Spring Boot process not terminating after stopping debug in Cursor IDE

Hi everyone,

I’m currently running a Spring Boot project in Cursor IDE.

When I start the application in debug mode and then click “Stop” or “Restart”, the process does not terminate properly. The terminal still shows the running process, and I have to manually stop it (e.g., by pressing delete or killing the process in the terminal).

This behavior is a bit inconvenient during development, especially when frequently restarting the app.

Has anyone experienced the same issue?
If so, is there a known workaround or fix for this?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi @ywkim2338!

What extension are you using for this functionality? Is it Debugger for Java? I would encourage you to raise an issue on their GitHub repo for extension-specific functionality!
