Hi Fabrizio,
Cmd-Q (or, rather the implicit exit machinery) does not call
System.exit(). All it does when it detects that there's no FX windows
open, it terminates the FX Event Thread. This is clearly stated in the
javadoc [1].
Ok, I missed the link between Cmd-Q and the rest.
The rest depends on the JVM. As long as there are active non-daemon
threads running, the JVM won't exit. I suspect that the services you're
running create non-daemon threads and they prevent the JVM from exiting.
So the solution you came up with (calling applicationContext.close())
looks correct: you tell the background services to shut down, and then
the application can terminate as expected.
Hope this helps.
It makes perfectly sense. Thanks.
