JMenu bar item (exit) not working

Question

I have a JMenuBar that has Save, Print, and Exit. I have attempted Exit so far, but cannot get it to work. I would like the Exit to exit the system, Print to print the Total, and the Save to save to a folder. I just need a stear in the right direction. Any help is appreciated.

Here is my code:

import javax.swing.text.*;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;

public class cousinsTree extends JApplet implements ActionListener

Answer 1

System.exit(0);

Even a trusted applet cannot end the JVM that other applets might be running in. At least not directly.

Use AppletContext.showDocument(URL) instead.

this.getAppletContext().showDocument(thanksForUsingUrl);

By replacing the page containing the applet with thanksForUsingUrl the stop() & destroy() methods for each applet in the page should be called before (finally) the JVM is ended.
