The rule is that the VM exits when there are no more
dameon threads running or the user calls
System.exit(int). The GUI thread is a dameon so if you
are running a GUI app the program will not exit at the
end of main (main starts dameon a thread that exits
when main does). So if you program starts no other
dameon threads and it exits at the end of main this
correct behavior.
