Open a new Java class on Button Click

I am starting of with Java desktop app development after having started with Android Development first (a little curious, but there it is).

What I have done is to create a Class title Login.java which is where the app should start and it does. After authenticating comparing with a MySQL Database table, I need to show a new Class titled Members.java.

To that effect, I tried the solution from here: Java swing application, close one window and open another when button is clicked and used this code in my Login.java file:

dispose();
new Members().setVisible(true);

What is happening however is, the Login.java window closes briefly (sort of) and then shows the Members.java. Is this behavior normal? Or am I coding it wrong? The Members.java needs to replace the Login.java after authentication.

Let me draw a quick comparison with Android to clarify a little further (in case the above does not). When I need to show a new class in Android, I can call it by firing a simple code such as this:

Intent showActivity = new Intent(this, SecondActivity.class);
startActivity(showActivity);

This does not give the impression that something closed and then something opened. Any help is appreciated.

P.S.: I tried searching a lot, but since I am not sure what to search for, it's been a no go on that front. Also, I am using Netbeans as my IDE as against Eclipse.

Of course, that's exactly what you requested.

dispose();                      // close the Login window
new Members().setVisible(true); // and show another window

If you want to get rid of that brief pause, call dispose after new Members().setVisible.
