I went through and coded this tutorial and like I said before, you did a great job. I did, however, find something interesting and I'm wondering if you might be able to explain it for me.
Whenever I exited the program using the "close" menu item, the window would disappear but the process would continue to run. I kept having to manually terminate the program from the command line. I modified the relevant portion of the event handler to say:
And this fixed everything (I can actually get rid of the this.dispose(); line altogether and it works fine too). I did this on an Ubuntu linux computer - could that have anything to do with it? Is "this.dispose();" supposed to terminate the program or just visually remove the window and all its resources?
Did anyone else run into this?

// if the source of the event was our "close" option
if(e.getSource() == this.close){
this.dispose(); // dispose all resources and close the application
System.exit(0);
}

The close menu item worked perfectly for me and terminated the process as it should, not sure why it didn't work for you.
