What I'm trying to do:  Create a window (using JDialog for every window which allows linking to other JDialog and customizing decorations).  Add something for user to do (ie a JTextField to type value, a JButton to submit value).  They click button, it runs a background process, which could take a minute.  While the process is running it displays a popup window with a progress bar that tells them it's running, and percentage complete if possible.  When the background process finishes getting data we want to update the main screen, possibly populating a JTable.  When the GUI is finished updating I want to close/hide the popup.
