Close what is already already running when running in eclipse

Question

i was wondering if in eclipse there is a way for eclipse, when you press the play button(run), it closes the already running program. For example, if anyone has every used Dr. Java, when you click run it basically closes all the running, compiled, programs and opens what ever you want to run. I was hopinmg there is a way to do this in eclipse because i often forget to close the program before running a modified version.

Also in Dr. Java it says something around the lines of "resetting interactions pane" so if that helps?

Go to Window->Preferences->Run/Debug->Launching , and check Terminate and Relaunch while launching .
