I want to use JOptionPane to create a login window for my java class. I did find sample code at the java.sun.com site.

For example:
String name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please input name: firstname lastname");
String passwrd = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please input password");

I run this barebone code (at the command line prompt)and get separate dialog boxes as expected but the code execution doesn't end at the command line prompt after I close all dialog boxes. I'm not sure what is going on behind the scene and would appreciate your help.

I could be wrong, but I believe that as part of this class's functionality, it's launched thread blocks until the OK/Cancel button is clicked. This behaviour is standard practice among "pop-up" windows - because the point of it is to call attention to the user, so they must make a choice before proceeding with the program ...

(PS, this forum is meant for J2EE questions, not J2SE issues).
