System.exit(0) vs JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE

问题:

Is there any difference between the two. I was reading an article ( http://www.javalobby.org/java/forums/t17933 ) about that you should always use

System.exit(0);

Currently I use

JFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );

The article says that even for a Java Swing Application you should add a listener WindowAdapter and and call System.exit() inside its method windowClosing(WindowEvent e).

Is there any difference? Is one method better then the other?

If you look at the JFrame code, it does:

 protected void processWindowEvent(WindowEvent e) {
        super.processWindowEvent(e);

        if (e.getID() == WindowEvent.WINDOW_CLOSING) {
            switch(defaultCloseOperation) {
              ...
          case EXIT_ON_CLOSE:
                  // This needs to match the checkExit call in
                  // setDefaultCloseOperation
        System.exit(0);
        break;
            }
        }
    }

So, it's exactly the same thing. I would just set EXIT_ON_CLOSE if that's what you want it to do.

Well, considering System.exit(0) is in the JFrame coding, either would work.
