I was thinking that 'stop' should be done by sending the ajp13
stop message, instead of calling main().

worker.jni should just execute a program by calling 
static main(String args[]).

What about having a separate worker.jni: that will execute the 
stop command ? In theory we can have as many worker.jni we want,
each executing different programs - in this case we'll just add
 a flag to the worker.jni indicating when do we want the program 
executed ( on start, on stop - maybe on other stages too ). This 
would still keep the worker.jni: as a simple 
run-java-program-and-nothing-else, and we could open some interesting
tricks.

Not sure about that - I would like to keep TomcatStarter as simple as 
possible. I don't agree that the same class that starts a program
should also stop it - we don't do it in standalone case ( where the 
stopper sends a message to either ajp12/13 in 3.3, or the 8005 port
in catalina - but that's different code than the starter code ).

As allways, if adding a stop solves your problem - I'm +0, but
I don't think this is the best solution, and long term I would like
very much to have the stop done via the same code regardless of
execution mode.
