For MacOS

Current behavior: When you close the open windows the application terminates.

Desired behavior: When you close the open windows keep the application running as just a menu. It would still populate the 'dock' and you could still alt+tab to focus it. Then you could open or new another instance.

Many IDE's, text editors, and other applications have my 'desired behavior': mvim, sublime, atom, kicad, steam, ect...

Not sure if this is the standard behavior with Java desktop applications on macOS but it's definitely annoying.

This sort of thing is certainly optional when it comes to apps built with Electron. Java should also have that option.
