destroy: Dispose of any behind the scenes resources this entire Applet is using (e.g. inside the native GUI). This does not delete the current application object, but it does dispose of all the children. This is required because the Java garbage collection scheme only can work on its own objects, not those inside the native GUI.
Applet ¤ dispose ¤ init ¤ main ¤ remove ¤ start ¤ stop
