How to "kill" AWT Event Queue thread without using System.exit()?

843807Oct 23 2001 — edited Oct 25 2001
When I run my program and the first GUI window is displayed a new thread is created - "AWT-Event Queue". When my program finishes, this thread stays alive and I think it causes some problems I have experienced lately.

Is there any possibility to "kill" this thread without using System.exit() (I can't use it for some specific reasons)
