The terminal does not disappear simply because you run a command in
it. That is true for all terminals I know of, including "dos prompt
windows".
(or are you telling me that you open a dos prompt, type java xyz in it and
it then disappears? That you can make a .bat file run without a window
is a different thing)
It sounds like you want to run 'java xyz' by clicking on some
icon/selecting something from a menu. How you do that depends on your
window manager and is completely non-java related (unless you have a java
based wm (wm = window manager, not vm ... :)). I suggest you look for help
in places where they discuss your particular window manager.

The user can type 'killall -KILL java' in another prompt and immediately
terminate all programs named java (given permission). Hiding ^C is not the
solution, handling (recovering from) the case when your program got
terminated in "mid-air" is.
