#41 jMax behaves badly if server not present

This bug arises when jMax is launched with the
-jmaxServerName option indicating a non-existent
program (like this :

jmax -jmaxServerName "echo"

This will try to start the program echo in FTS'
directory, which will fail).

Once the interface has reported the exception, which
looks like this (stack trace left aside) :

java.io.IOException: java.io.IOException:
/path_to_fts/echo: not found

it sits around waiting for user input and tries to act
like the FTS server was there, which results in
exceptions beeing thrown, even when trying to quit the
application. Thus, the user is "stuck" and has to
"killall java" under linux to get out of it.

    A similar problem occurs when using a socket to connect the
    client to FTS.

    1. Launch fts from the command-line (no args)
    2. Launch jmax with following command-line :
    jmax -jmaxConnection socket -attach true

    This will attach the GUI to the running FTS server. But if
    the server dies, the GUI does not detect it, and exceptions
    start pooring when trying to do something.
