When you call the run method of a Thread object, it simply executes in 
line just like any other method.  Instead, call "appThread.start()" in 
your code, which causes the Thread object to run in its own separate 
thread -- which was your goal.  Then appThread will exist independently 
of your actionPerformed method and the EDT on which it was invoked, and 
will become eligible for garbage collection when its run method 
completes.

Alternatively, you could create a Runnable instead of a Thread.  If you 
actually want to spawn it separately, you can then pass that Runnable as 
the parameter to a Thread constructor and call start on the Thread.  But 
if you should need, as I did in some situations, to have it run on the 
EDT, you could pass that Runnable to EventQueue.invokeLater.
