@AlexR is correct and I prefer @Hovercraft Full Of Eels approach, but you might also like to experiment with this example of buttons and frames.

Rather than swapping out actual windows on a screen, I suggest that you have one main JFrame application and that you swap out JPanels that it displays based on the state of the application. This is more in line with most professional applications that we use including word processors and IDEs and will seem more natural-seeming to the user. To achieve this in Java look into having your Container (usually a JPanel that holds other JPanels and components) use a CardLayout. Then you would treat the JPanels it holds as cards and swap them via methods in the layout. The exception to this is when you need a dialog window on top of the main GUI, and this can be achieved simply by use of one of the JOptionPane methods, or in more depth by creating and using a modal or non-modal JDialog.

The following magic lines do what you want. Obviously frame there is the target frame, i.e. one you want to move focus to.

frame.requestFocus();
frame.toFront();
