Keep a application running while closing the other

Hi,

I have a parent application that opens a child application. When I close the child application then the parent application closes with the child application, but I want the two applications to be independent of each other. I can't create the child application without the parent application since the parent application is used for test purposes.

Thanx
 
Avoid using System.exit in the child, since this will terminate the JVM (and is a common mispattern).

EXIT_ON_CLOSE is bad for the same reason.

Just call dispose () on the childwindow. This will terminate the JVM only after the last program calling dispose. You aren't bound in closing them in any order.

Thank you it is working with the dispose()!
