Open Multiple JFrame in a single Window

Question

hi all.........
Im developing one application using Java&Swing. I've used JFrame for Home window, That window with JMenubar and Jpanel for backround image. If i click one menuitem then it will open that JFrame in one new window, then if i click one more menuitem then i'll open that JFrame in another window, like if i click n no.of times it is opening n JFrame in n separate window.
im using like this..........
void menuitem2_ActionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
First jf= new First();
jf.setSize(200,300);
jf.setVisible(true);
this.getContentPane().add( jf, new XYConstraints(0, 0, 790, 545));
for each menuitem. In each menuitem event - ActionPerfomed im calling the corresponding Java file which extends JFrame and im adding that in "this " constuctor.So it is opening each window for each event.
But i want to open it in a same window. For this how should i declare home window JFrame and Other Java file JFrame.
Kindly help anyone to proceed....
thanking you,
Koks.

Do you have any intentions of making a patch? I see from other forums that your users are all frustrated about this.
