2. Why 'Exit' icon show 'Enter' door? :))

I think I can answer these questions.

1. I think Exit shuts down the running JVM nicely, allowing shutdown hooks
to run, etc. I think Close might simply kill the Java process.
2. When I see the icon, I think of "leave my room please" - you're asking
the program to leave, and the icon shows that there's a process of walking
out the door, before the JVM has left. Anyway, how can you tell when someone
is entering or exiting a room? After all, when you exit one room, you are
entering another room. I don't see how an icon can mean exit or enter.

I was also wondering the same thing as Alexey. Using the words "Exit
cleanly" in the tooltip might convey this meaning more precisely and
renaming "Stop" to "Terminate" might also help.

I was wondering if we could get an exit-button for debugging to, so we can debug shutdown hooks?
