dispose() just gets rid of a swing object. If you have two windows and dispose() one of them, the other will still be there.
System.exit() terminates the whole program and closes all its windows.

dispose frees resources used by class and exit forces all threads of the program to terminate immediately, common use if you get an error in your program and what to terminate it you use System.exit(-1), -1 indicates that some error occurred, if no error occurred that would be exit(0)
