Share a GUI (JFrame) between agent calls

I have a java agents that opens a GUI. When the agent is finished the GUI remains open. Whenever I start the agent again, or start another agent I would like to use the same GUI again.

Is there any way to detect an open GUI or to share the reference between the agents?

You can use Window class and iterate through all created instances

   /**
     * Returns an array of all {@code Window}s, both owned and ownerless,
     * created by this application.
     * If called from an applet, the array includes only the {@code Window}s
     * accessible by that applet.
     * <p>
     * <b>Warning:</b> this method may return system created windows, such
     * as a print dialog. Applications should not assume the existence of
     * these dialogs, nor should an application assume anything about these
     * dialogs such as component positions, <code>LayoutManager</code>s
     * or serialization.
     *
     * @see Frame#getFrames
     * @see Window#getOwnerlessWindows
     *
     * @since 1.6
     */
public static Window[] getWindows()

also Frame has

public static Frame[] getFrames()
