Just use:

setModal(true);

I usually call it from the JDialog constructor.

This will force execution to block the current thread until the dialog box closes.

Alternatively you can use:

 setModalityType(Dialog.DEFAULT_MODALITY_TYPE);

This is equivalent to setModal(true) and technically the correct way to do this.
