Java crash when exit application: A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

I have a Java application to drive a motor. The driver of the motor has been written in C++ with the Microsoft Visual Studio. I import (native code) this dll. The Java application runs without problems. I can start and stop the motor. But when I close this application, it crashes in the native code (motor driver).

I asked the furnisher of this motor. They told me, in the Microsoft environment (Visual Studio) the motor driver runs without problems. They said, there is no error. But they never tested the driver with a Java application.

I tried to suppress the error using the Exception and Error class. But it didn't work.

Question: Is it possible to suppress this error message?

It's not possible to suppress this, no. There's really not a good way of handling it clean because it is happening outside of your code. It could be a variety of things, such as out of date driver files, hardware incompatibilities, etc.

There are some insights in the stack trace though. The top of the stack says

Java frames: (J=compiled Java code, j=interpreted, Vv=VM code)
j  finaltest.MaxonMotorCmd.closeAllDevices()Z+0
j  finaltest.MaxonMotor.close()Z+8

So it looks like the closeAllDevices method is causing this to happen. You should go through that method and make sure you are properly stopping the device and gracefully shutting it down.

Note that this is happening on the event dispatch thread as well (as indicated by the => in the thread list =>0x02ec8800 JavaThread "AWT-EventQueue-0" [_thread_in_native, id=660, stack(0x03280000,0x032d0000)]). Generally you don't want to be doing any heavy lifting (such as shutting down a motor) from the EDT.
