There's a couple of ways to do this.

If you think this is going to be a common problem, and you need to have 
a way to access that Frame in many places... Then make a static public 
method that returns a reference to your frame in your application class 
- MyApplication.getFrame()

Or, if this is an isolated instance, then you can "walk" up the parent 
list of your panels, until you get to a parent that is instance of a 
JFrame, and use it.
