I was wondering if there's a way to let it know it can interrupt it's own thread rather than having to remember to call a close method to interrupt it's thread from the windowClosing method.

If I want to shutdown a thread before the GUI terminates I usually 
create a stop method that terminates all the threads that need to be 
stopped before the GUI.  If they are threads that can just be killed, I 
make them daemon threads and ignore them.
