FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.5.0_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_01-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_01-b08, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
It is impossible to shutdown a Webstart application without System.exit(). It is likely this hang is caused by Webstart spawning its own non-daemon threads which prevent a clean shutdown.

Using System.exit() is not an alternative for my product because we use native code and we absolutely *must* know whether a clean shutdown has occured.

Please fix this within the Tiger timeframe, not Mustang.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Clean shutdown when no threads remain
ACTUAL -
Hang on shutdown

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
Compile the application code into test.jar, sign it, modify the JNLP file to point to it and run the application by hitting the JNLP file from a browser.

---- The application ----
public class Test
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    System.out.println("hello");
  }
}
