Welcome to the Ranch

Please use the code button; since you are new I have edited your post and you can see how it improves the look of your code and makes the indentation errors easier to find

You need to go through the JFrame documentation and look what happens when you close a frame. Also find out about threads in Swing; the "main" thread is still running at this point. That is probably your problem.

I shall move this discussion to the Swing (not "swings") forum.

That works fine if your application only has one JFrame. If it can have multiple then JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE is a better option. Once the last JFrame has been disposed the Event Dispatcher Thread will end and so will your program (provided there are no other non-daemon threads running).

. . . and you have no other actions you wish to perform while the frame closes, eg saving something to a file. When the JVM exits, the file might only be partially written, and may be corrupted. In that case a WindowListener can be used to do the file writing on closing.

Yes, I forgot about shutdown hooks. They're nice things to use

One situation I'm aware of that causes the EDT to not terminate is when a Swing Timer is still running. And one way to guard against that in a situation that makes it difficult to code for stopping the Timer is to include a check in its actionPerformed:
