How to call a custom jDialog

Question

I am using NetBeans 5.5 and created a custom jDialog. I want to be
able to call the custom jDialog from another Form. The dialog I created
allows a user to set parameters for a template. The template saves
basic employee information to a text file for populating a time card.
When the template needs to be altered, the user would call the
template, which is the custom jDialog, to reset the template.
I thought I could just instantiate the custom jDialog class I created and
use a 'go()' method to bring up the templateChooser jDialog but
nothing seems to be working. Here is some sample code:
Here are sample code:
public class templateChooser extends javax.swing.JDialog{
    /** Creates new form templateChooser */
    public templateChooser() {
    }//end template Chooser()
    public void go(){
        initComponents();
        templateAttributesEnabled(false);
        jCmbxDutyDaysEnabled(false);
        formLoadData_onDialogOpen();       
    }//end go
}//end of templateChooser
public class tcForm extends javax.swing.JFrame {
    public tcForm() {
        initComponents();
        //jf.setVisible(true);
    }//end constructor
    private void jMenuItem_OpenTemplateMouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {                                                   
// TODO add your handling code here:
        //call the template dialag box
        templateChooser tc = new templateChooser();
        tc.go();
    } // end jMenuItem
}//end class

OK...I figured it out!!!
For all that our out there using NetBeans5.5. When using the MenuItem and selecting mouseclick as an event will not cause the desired action to occur. You have to select Action -> ActionPerformed for that menuItem. My menu Item now "fires" the event for my custom dialog to appear. Go figure...I would have thought that the event mouseClicked would be fine...I guess not.
