Java Programming - Doubt on dispose() method

I have a java gui window from which i am opening another window which is jframe. Now to close this subwindow (jframe), i have used dispose() method. But this totally terminating application. Is dispose() method same as System.exit() or am i missing anything here.

dispose() may terminate the JVM, if it is called on the last remaining instance of java.awt.Window, of which JFrame is a subclass
