I see the daemon process running after my toolingApi code is finished.
I can stop it from the command line with “gradle --stop”
BUT…can it be stopped with the toolingApi???
No, there is no support for this in Tooling API. You can tell Gradle to quit soon after your request by passing a system property specifying a short idle timeout. See related thread http://forums.gradle.org/gradle/topics/extending_the_gradle_daemon_idle_timeout
Thanks
