try {
        Runtime.getRuntime().exec("shutdown /l");
    } catch (IOException ex) {}

How to Close or Exit a Java App When some Button is Clicked

To close a Java app, System.exit() can be used. This function can be used to close the app if an error occurs or no error is occurred. If no, error occurred, the argument  of the function should be 0. This method terminates the currently running Java Virtual Machine.

If you are using netbeans IDE, you can simply drag and drop the image file into the desired folder in the projects pane. After copying the icon image to src folder (or any subfolder in it), use the following code to set it as the button's icon.

playbtn.setIcon(new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/manhaj/images/play.png")));
