I have a simple GUI program that creates a new window (which contains a JTable) at some point in time. If the user closes the JTable, the main application closes as well. How do I prevent this? Would it have something to do with how it handles the window closing, or should I give it it's own thread, or what?

My guess is that your main thread already finished, causing the entire program to shut down when the window is closed. Can you post the (relevant parts of) your code? – Keppil Sep 02 '12 at 21:36

1the user can't close the JTable, but is closing the window or JFrame. JTable is a component only – Sep 02 '12 at 21:38

Set one of these close operation for your JFrame: HIDE_ON_CLOSE or DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE.
You are using EXIT_ON_CLOSE.
Here is a link to the JavaDoc method you can use.

Never mind, was putting it in the wrong place. Everything works, thank you so much! – Maxwell Sanchez Sep 02 '12 at 21:41
