Excel not closed when closing editor

[agfeller]

Dear all,

I've created the wrapper classes for Excel.  

I'm initializing my editor like this:

WorksheetComposite  wsComp = new WorksheetComposite(parent, SWT.NONE, templateFile);
wsComp.setLayoutData(createLayoutData());

wsComp.getOleFrame().setContainerMenus(parent.getShell().getMenuBar().getItems());
wsComp.oleInplaceActivate();

application = wsComp.getWorksheetAutomation().getApplication();
appEventListener = new FeeTemplateEditor.AppEventListener();
application.addAppEventsListener(appEventListener);

My dispose method looks like this:

@Override
    public void dispose() {
        try {
            application.removeAppEventsListener(appEventListener);
        } catch (NullPointerException e) {
            // ignore
        }

        wsComp.getWorksheetAutomation().dispose();
        wsComp.getOleClientSite().dispose();
        excelSupport = null;

        super.dispose();
    }


Closing the editor or even the application will not release (dispose) the Excel process.
Are the any ideas or hints how to proceed to fix this?

Thanks a lot,
Alex

P.S. By the way, I'm using Eclipse 3.5.1

Hi Alex,

It appears that some other object references are still being held and therefore Excel is not exiting.  Have you tried forcing a Garbage Collection?
