Using the `application` gradle plugin, how do I stop an application? The stop button is greyed out...
If I close the tab, it simply keeps running in the background

Stop button should work fine. Of course it does a forced quit from outside, not an orderly shutdown from within. That the stop button is greyed out is strange. Also closing the tab should work, unless you just close the tool window. If you close the tab IJ usually asks whether to quit it detach from the process.

Usually for me closing the tab just forcibly quits, but for some reason it doesn't. Even a sigterm doesn't seem to do anything, but because stop was grey it looks like it didn't give me the sigkill option and I had to do it manually.
