As described in http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/distro-pkg-dev/2015-February/030792.h... (long thread) javaws do not close. The reason is that the trheads in ExecutorService are never shut down.
One solution is to make them daemn (attached)
I prefer this solution above others described in the thread.

I'm all for being able to shut down javaws without kill -9 but I'm not sure this is a particularly good list to discuss it. Maybe a bug filed against icedtea-web instead?
