java添加例外,例外：向容器添加窗口。怎么解决？

I have a JDialog class named Preferences. This class creates a constructor like:

class Preferences extends javax.swing.JDialog {

Preferences(java.awt.Frame parent,modal) {

super(parent,modal);

//......

}

}

In my program I want this preferences dialog to open up as I click a button from a JFrame form. After I registered the action listener on the button, I wrote the code inside as:

Frame fr = new Frame();

Preferences p = new Preferences(fr,false);

fr.add(p);

fr.setVisible(true);

When I run this code I get the following exception (as I click the button):

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0"

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: adding a window to a container

What does this mean and how can I solve it?

What does this mean..

One top level container (dialog) cannot be added to another (frame).

..and how can i solve this ?

Just call setVisible(true) on the Preferences dialog, rather than adding it.
