Application not restarting

Question

Hey all, has anyone come across the following problem,
We are developing a larget scale Java app with a Swing client and J2EE backend. When the user closes the application I call System.exit(0); to kill the client.
If I want to restart the client I have to re-boot the machine, target PC is Windows 2000.
The client and server run in different VMs.
Any ideas?
We dont get the problem on our development machines, Win XP.
Many Thanks,

Hi Brian,
I create the views using a handler. Here's the execute method:
@Execute
public void execute(
@Named(PARAM_LIST_TYPE) String viewType,
final EPartService partService) {
// see also [url]https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=372211[/url]
MPart myPart = partService.findPart(viewType);
if(myPart != null && myPart.isVisible()) {
log.debug("part is already created!");
partService.showPart(myPart,
PartState.VISIBLE);
} else {
myPart.setVisible(true);
// otherwise no content is rendered :-(
myPart.setToBeRendered(true);
partService.showPart(myPart,
PartState.ACTIVATE);
Ralf.
