I am trying to make my application ignore clicks on the X in the top right.  I have read on the web that you do this via:

setDefaultCloseOperation(DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE);

Other posts have said you also do:
        
addWindowListener( new WindowAdapter() {
   public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
       System.out.println("exit was pressed");
   }            
});   

When I do these both in my JFrame, the windowClosing event does indeed get called because I see the message, but then it goes ahead and exits.  

How can I make it NOT exit?
