In an applet:

My main pane shows information about a student, including a list of parental
contacts in a JTable.  When the user double-clicks a parent's name, I'd like
to display a new window that is centered on the screen, but is a bit smaller
than the main pane.  The only things in the new window would be several
label components and an OK button.  After the user would view the
information and press an OK button, the pop-up window would go away and the
main pane would be shown once again.
What is the best way to do something like that?  I'm pretty new with Java,
so I don't know whether I should be looking at a dialog, option pane, or a
card layout solution.  (or something else)

TIA
