Question

I’m currently developing multiple project management applications for my team, and distributing these as JARs, which is OK for now. But I was asked to make a central application to launch them.

Basically a small app, with a button for each app I already made, and when you click the button, it launches the corresponding app. I managed to do everything except one point.
I include my JARs in the buildpath, then launch them by creating an instance of the Main class. This actually works, but when I want to close one window, it closes all of them….

Anyone got an idea on this ?

Thanks

Found it ! I had this in each app Main class (extending JFrame) :

this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

I changed it to :

this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);

Now this works.

Thanks for help
