Existing functionality is preserved: when stopped the JVM will create the required artifacts based on the execution mode.  Conveniently as the application running on the JVM has not stopped (as was previously the only way to stop recording), the application will resume execution after the artifacts have been generated.

Can we catch Exception here generally, and print the stacktrace so we can see what happened if there are failures?

Then print the "Exception occurred!" so it's seen by the caller and the test fails.
