Not without some special trickery. The API JavaDocs will tell you that
any Dialog (and JDialog extends it) that is modal blocks access to ALL
other top-level Window descendants in the entire app unless they're
owned by the dialog itself. In its non-Java environment, Apple calls
what you describe "document modal", while it calls the standard Java
dialog behavior "application modal". I'm among those who think that
Java should allow for blocking access onto the owning top-level window.
