I new to both Java and Eclipse (and WindowBuilder for that matter) am trying to build a small prototype application using WindowBuilder. I have built a main window using Class jFrame and a menu with several jMenus and jMenuItems. What I do not know how to do is build a seperate window which will be "called" by pushing the appropriate jMenuItem. I realy need to know two things

1) How do I design this seperate "pop up" window in WindowBuilder
2) How do I connect it to the action on the jMenuItem

Any help would be very appreciated

1) Create each window as a JFrame subclass.

2) In the JMenuItem's action or event handler, open the new window.

FYI...this is not the appropriate forum to ask general Swing UI questions.
