[ros-users] Release of new stack client_rosjava

[Máté Wolfram]

Hi,

is there an equivalent for ros::ok() available in rosjava? I have the 
problem that my Java nodes don't get notified about the SIGINT, so I 
don't really know how to stop a Java node (except for implementing a 
user command for that, which is not too elegant)

thanks in advance
cheers, Máté
