How and why does one exit a java program (applet or application)
elegantly?

I suppose you should call dispose() on all the windows and the VM should
exit if there are no outstanding threads.
If you call System.exit() that could be rude to other classes running in
the same VM. Uncomfortably, my experience is that javaw in jbuilder
becomes a zombie process when I only dispose() of all windows.

How do you exit from applets and applications elegantly?
