The line View.java looks like this

startDialog.setVisible( true );

and startDialog is an instance of javax.swing.JDialog.

The OSX version is 10.8.3
Java -version is

java version "1.7.0_17"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_17-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)

Any help is appreciated.
Kind regards,
