Recursion causes exit to exit all JFrames (terminates app)
- by Trizicus
I have made an application that gives the user the option to open up a new spawn of the application entirely. When the user does so and closes the application the entire application terminates; not just the window.
How should I go about recursively spawning an application and then when the user exits the JFrame spawn; killing just that JFrame and not the entire instance?
Here is the relevant code:
[...]
JMenuItem newMenuItem = new JMenuItem ("New");
newMenuItem.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
new MainWindow();
}
});
fileMenu.add(newMenuItem);
[....]
JMenuItem exit = new JMenuItem("Exit");
exit.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}
});
fileMenu.add(exit);
[...]
