JButton newCustomer = new JButton();

newCustomer.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
        // TODO bind the new customer menu dialog box 
    }

});

As far as I know, there are several add() methods which are inherited from Component, but none of which will add an ActionListener to a JButton. Do you mean addActionListener() instead?

Well to bind actions in java you add ActionListeners.

When constructing your button you need to add an ActionListener to it. That way, when the click event happens, the button knows what to do.

newCustomerButon.add(new ActionListener(){

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
        // This is where you put the code for popping up the form.
        yourForm.setVisible(true); // Or something similar.
    }

});
