[dev] Terminate soffice process

[Thullner, Robert]

Hello
 
I am using OOo for converting MS Word files to PDF in Java.
My code is basically taken from the Code Snippet base.
http://codesnippets.services.openoffice.org/Office/Office.ConvertDocumen
ts.snip
 
However after a conversion the soffice.bin and soffice.exe processes do
not terminate under windows and so my
program cannot exit cleanly.
 
Is there any method to close these processes in Java?
 
Thanks for any help
