How do I open multiple JOptionPanes in Java at the same time?

Question

I'm trying to write a program to open up several different JOptionPanes with different messages in each of them.
I have searched, but couldn't find how to do it.
It was fairly simple to have the windows open in order, but I couldn't have them pop up at the same time, appearing to the user together.
This is what I have right now:

    import java.util.*;
    import javax.swing.*;

    public class HelloTest 
    {
        public static void main(String[] args) 
        {   
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Window1");
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Window2");
        }
     }

Help would be appreciated! Thanks!

By default all JOptionPane utility methods produce modal dialogs.

You can however create dialogs manually and call setModal(false) on the created JDialog instance...

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    JOptionPane pane1 = new JOptionPane();
    JDialog dialog1 = pane1.createDialog(null, "Window1");
    dialog1.setModal(false);
    dialog1.setVisible(true);

    JOptionPane pane2 = new JOptionPane();
    JDialog dialog2 = pane2.createDialog(null, "Window2");
    dialog2.setModal(false);
    dialog2.setVisible(true);
}
