A JFrame is the outer-most UI Component for a Swing application. It acts as the parent container for all other components in your application. I usually expect to have only one of these per application.

I'm a bit confused by what you mean when you ask 'how does one JFrame link to another...'. What do you mean by 'link'. It has a few connotations so can you be more precise?

I have my main JFrame application window open and I click on another Jdialog, JInterFrame, (window?) in the menubar
I think this is better.
Because the JFrame hold the menubar and it is normal for keeping JFrame as the main program to control the flow.

Do you want the JFrame of one application to call another JFrame of another application

Jdialog, JInterFrame, (window?) in the menubar...

JDialogs aren't normal JFrames, they block the calling process untill they get a responce, and then they return an answer. Other JFrames will not block, and that makes communication between multipule JFrames difficult, but not impossible. All Swing commpoents use Listeners to communicate using a system of callbacks. RTFM about JFrames and Listeners...

There are code examples all over the place.
