You should not be calling
System.exit()if you can help it.The best way to exit a java process is to let all threads exit normally. This will terminate the VM.
In your main
JFrame, you shouldsetDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE).Then you can call
frame.dispose()to close theJFrameand exit the EDT.
