How does one shutdown embedded Tomcat in Spring Boot?

Question

I'm using NetBeans IDE and Maven with Spring Boot. Whenever I run my app more than once, I get this error:

o.a.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol : Failed to start end point associated with ProtocolHandler ["http-nio-8080"]

java.net.BindException: Address already in use

spring boot java.lang.IllegalStateException: Tomcat connector in failed state

I'm assuming this means that Tomcat isn't getting shutdown. How can I properly shutdown the embedded Tomcat in Spring Boot (preferably from the IDE)?

Ideally when you stop the server from IDE, then it shuts down. If not, then your IDE failed to stop it. — We are Borg, Jun 23 '15 at 15:34

I found a netbeans configuration that fixed my problem. See this screenshot: https://bugzilla-attachments-241321.netbeans.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=151222
