IIRC you said that the reference to the thread is lost so it can't be 
shut down. Is there no way this could be preserved, maybe with an 
extended JButton that triggers the thread by calling a method in your 
Model? 

This would mean you could keep the thread reference so that your shutdown 
code can terminate it cleanly. 

Alternatively, an extended JButton might pass the thread a reference to a 
variable used by shutdown code to tell the thread to terminate.
