I declared it a daemon thread and it did auto terminate when the last GUI object was destroyed without calling it's proper close method. That thread was sitting on the take() method and it printing something in the InterruptedException section which never printed. So if we let the JVM terminate it with the daemons can I assume that's ok on a method like this? > Why don't you interrupt the thread as part of the shutdown process and then it will print your message in the catch section. -- Knute Johnson
