FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.5.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-b64)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-b64, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
JOptionPane's showInternal*Dialog methods never return.

When an Internal Dialog is displayed it blocks the current Thread until the Dialog is closed at which point the Thread resumes. However I have an Internal Dialog being displayed from a Thread which isn't the Dispatch Thread and despite the OK button being pressed the Thread never resumes beyond the call to JOptionPane.showInternal***Dialog.

The problem seems to be in the java.awt.Container.startLWModal() method (lines 2633 -2639)

                while (windowClosingException == null) {
                    try {
                        getTreeLock().wait();
                    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                        break;
                    }
                }

where wait() returns but windowClosingException is always null. windowClosingException is set in two locations in java.awt.Component (lines 3933 and 4002)but only in response to a WindowClosing event not an Internal Frame closing.

As the Thread never resumes I am unable to process the User's input and proceed. The example code provided works on JDK 1.4.1_05 and JDK 1.4.2, but not in JDK 1.5.0 beta 2, JDK 1.5.0 rc and JDK 1.5.0

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
