Exit Java Virual Machine from a DOS Console
We have a java application, invoked as a batch file that initially displays a DOS window and few seconds later it generates a GUI interface(using swing components).
The problem that I have is when the application terminates, the GUI interface closes(thats okay) but the dos window is still active and can only be terminated by pressing Ctrl^C from the keyboard. How do I get the Dos window to exit as well, when the gui interface exits?
eg. file: Application.bat
Action: When double clicked brings up a DOS window, showing classpath and other messages etc.. After a few seconds, it displays our Gui interface.
Problem : When I click cancel on the GUI interface, the Gui interface exits(perfect) but Dos window is still active.
Need to exit from the Dos window as well. How?

Can you execute a shell command after the GUI is closed from the java application?
if so, try "exit".
Just a though, I have no experience with java applications.
Good Luck
