Introduction
Here is an example illustrating the problem. Think, I track and show the current mouse position and the last click button and position for the user. Here is the image:

To archive the capture of click events in a Windows window, this will and will be sent to the message queue about events of other programs, I create a hook using winapi, namely the user32.dll library. This is outside the JDK sandbox, so I use JNA to call my own library.
It all works fine, but it doesn't close as I expect.
My question is: how to properly close the following sample program?
