The JVM will exit when all the threads that remain running are daemon threads. Therefore, if you want to create a Thread that runs as a sort of background task, and you don't want the program to continue running if your main thread terminates but the background task remains, then you should make that background thread a daemon thread.
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
