Close/Exit child frame without closing parent frame

Question

I have created a second Frame in another frame. I noticed that when I close the second frame, the first one closes too.

How can i avoid that? I would like the first frame to remain as it is and without closing.

My code for the second frame is:

 JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);       
 frame = new JFrame();
 frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(frame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); //when it closes the first frame closes too

thanks

I read the following answer Close one JFrame without closing another? and i found the answer

I removed

 frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(frame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

and I added the following

 setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);

An aaplication should only has a single JFrame. For child windows you should use a JDialog. See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9554636/the-use-of-multiple-jframes-good-bad-practice – camickr Jan 06 '14 at 15:57
