You must use a JDialog instead of a JFrame.  I had the problem of needing to
show my GUI's modally or modeless a while back, and here's trick I used:

I do all of my design on the following (trimmed down for demo purposes)
JPanel subclass:

public class FramePanel
{
    public void show()
    {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame();
        frame.getContentPane().add(this);
        frame.show();
    }

    public void showModal()
    {
        JDialog frame = new JDialog);
        frame.getContentPane().add(this);
        frame.setModal(true);
        frame.show();
    }
}


This gives me both the show() and showModal() for a given GUI, and you never
need to know that you aren't showing a frame.  Keep in mind that you might
need to surface some of the JFrame properties in your JPanel class, though.

Hope this helps,
Jason
