using setDaemon

I have a class implementing Runnable with
main() creating and starting one (1) thread.
I would like to quit the program, exiting
main(), and have my one (1) thread continue running indefinitely. I tried commenting
out // adjThread.setDaemon(true) with no
success, when I quit the program, the
adjThread still seems to die with main().
I also tried adjThread.setDaemon(false)
with no luck. Any advice on this would
be greatly appreciated.
