     The snipped piece said that EXIT_ON_CLOSE is bad because it calls
System.exit().

     And it said System.exit() was bad because it stops the JVM.

     And it said stopping the JVM was bad because, um, well, actually
it didn't say *why* stopping the JVM was bad, it just said it was.

     In other words, the snipped portion was the same as the quoted
part, just in, well, other words.

     Personally, I like applications that stop.  When they keep on
running with no windows open, no user interaction, nothing but the
occasional background burbling as the CPU stalls for another cache
miss ...  Well, that's eerie, that's what that is.  When I close my
application's main window, I want my application to Go Away.  If
it's got no state that needs preserving, EXIT_ON_CLOSE is a perfectly
good way to accomplish this.  If there *is* state, I'll use a
WindowAdapter, do whatever's necessary, and then call System.exit()
myself.

     Evil or not, here I come.
