Hi,

I am writing simple application. It's some kind of XML editor. Anyway,
I would like to make a menu with "add document" option, which in turn
would open a new window with some kind of form (first name, last name,
address, etc.).

Now the question: what should I use to build the second window?
JDialog? Is it possible to build JDialog with multiple input fields?
Second question: how to get the answers (the input) to the parent
window?

All I need are some clues..
Thanks

It depends what you want it to do. You have quite a few choices. See
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/swing.html
where I give an outline of the differences between the various types
of Window.

Here's an example of a custom dialog :
