Terminating mvn spring-boot:run doesn't stop tomcat

Question

I can successfully start spring-boot with mvn spring-boot, the documentation mentions to gracefully exit the application hit ctrl-c.

Answer 1

I encountered same problem running SpringBoot application in eclipse on Mac. I manually had to find all the PID's using 8080 and kill them. But, fortunately, I realized that we can kill that tomcat instance right from the eclipse "console" view, by hitting the stop(Red square icon) button and run the spring boot application again.
