FileAlternationMonitor#stop() not stop the thread The thread if FileAlterationMonitor wasn't stopped by the `stop(int)` method, which forbid application to shutdown unless all `Thread` are exited (if FileAlterationMonitor is part of a DI managed component). This behavior conflict with the method javadoc `@param stopInterval the amount of time in milliseconds to wait for the thread to finish.` ### Simple exemple to understand ```java Thread t = new Thread(() -> { try { Thread.sleep(500000); } catch (final InterruptedException e) { } }); t.start(); t.join(50); // Ok, we reach this point until 500000ms are elapsed, but the thread is still alive. // because Thread#join(int) does not kill the thread. And the thread remains alive. ``` ```java Thread t = new Thread(() -> { try { Thread.sleep(500000); } catch (final InterruptedException e) { } }); t.start(); t.join(50); t.interupt(); // Thread is exited ``` In this case, we waited the given time BEFORE exiting the `Thread`, as described in the javadoc, and the `Thread` is now finished and killed.
