It sounds like the Window has no owner, or its owner is not visible.  If
that is the case, it cannot receive the focus.  For more information, see
the JavaDocs for the Window.isFocusableWindow() method.

If it makes sense for your window to have an owner Frame (or Dialog), then
make sure you specify it in the constructor.  If not, then consider using
a Frame instead of a Window.  You can make the Frame undecorated to
eliminate the title bar.
