I believe you will need to create a Frame or JFrame to "popup" a window.
Personally, I think it is a bad idea to popup windows from applets.  I can
never guarantee there "modality" and given the inconsistent support in
browsers, I stay away from then.

I recommend having a CardPanel for your main applet UI with an "error" panel
that you can switch too.  The error panel would describe the error and could
have controls to specify actions to be taken on the error.  In the simplest
case, the error panel would simply have a "Back" button to take you to the
"screen" where the error occurred, or to some place where the user should
interact after the error occurred.

I repeat, this is my recommendation.  Is anyone at Sun reading this?  PLEASE
ENDORSE IT!
