Close/Exit child frame without closing parent frame

Question

I have created a second Frame in another frame. I noticed that when I close the second frame, the first one closes too.

How can i avoid that? I would like the first frame to remain as it is and without closing.

My code for the second frame is:

 JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);       
 frame = new JFrame();
 frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(frame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); //when it closes the first frame closes too

thanks

Solved

I read the following answer Close one JFrame without closing another? and i found the answer

• I removed

   frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(frame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
  

• and I added the following

   setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
