Answer 1

You probably used

   //this will terminate or exit your application    
   setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

Maybe you want to use this instead,

   setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.HIDE_ON_CLOSE);

for your reference go to this link

Answer 2

If you want to close only that one frame, you should do something like this: setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE)

If you want to close all frames whenever a single frame closes you can do the following:

You could use a window listener and call System.exit(0); when the JFrame closes, or try setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); on each JFrame. That way your program would close all frames and end.

If you need to perform some tasks before application quits, you should probably use the window listener.

You can also do that graphicaly. right click on your frame and select properties and from there you can change that like the below picture.
