Re: refresh makes "unknown" threads disappear

I think it is safe to say that if JSwat reports that the threads are not
there anymore, then they are definitely gone. As with nearly everything
in JSwat, that panel is built directly from the information reported by
the Java Debug Interface. The JDI gets its information from the debuggee
JVM and if it says those threads are not there, it means the threads
have died.

On the other hand, JSwat was not designed for detecting resource leaks.
There are much better tools for that (JProbe and OptimizeIt come to
mind) sort of thing.

Good luck.
