In your original post you stated that:
"After I dispose the last GUI object the JVM should terminate itself."

Indeed it should. But where exactly, in the code below, do you dispose of the GUI objects you've created?
(FYI, close != dispose).

The EDT will not exit as long as there are displayable components left which the JVM is managing.
(displayable != visible).

> The JVM does terminate itself if I set Java in the Control Panel to hide the console, but if that console is visible it stays open deadlocked until I hit the Close button.  In our regular application I can run with the console window visible and it disappears when the program ends, but we're starting from a third party jar so I can only guess they're calling System.exit().  I assume this is why no one cares that the JVM doesn't terminate, because end users normally hide the console window.  I'm used to that window disappearing on it's own so when I wrote a standalone program and it didn't disappear I assume I missed something or it's a bug.
