It's possible to halt it (and really simple):

E.g.: if the user goes on and writes:

while True:
   print 'something'

and you import that module while it has that logic, you won't regain
control over it (and that Thread would be lost and would keep one of
your processors busy until eclipse exits -- as a separate process it
can still be killed without any further problems in the Eclipse VM).

The class where the logic for handling communication with the shell is
the AbstractShell.java (so, that's the place you'd change).

Cheers,

Fabio
