Problem with programming logic in code

Question

I have hit a programming logic problem. What I wanted is for my main program to create a jDialog according to user's choice selection from a jOptionPane and the code in the main body to stop running and rather wait for the user to select the option in the jDialog and then go back to running the main code body but somehow my program doesn't work that way. Anyone have any ideas how to fix it ?
Object[] obj = {"Specific Date","Month/Year"};
            String input = (String) JOptionPane.showInputDialog(this,"Choose the following ways to select a date.","Select Date",JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE,null,obj,obj[0]);
            if(input.equals("Specific Date")){
                jDialog1.setSize(400,250);
                jDialog1.setVisible(true);
                //while(option!=1){
                //System.out.println("waiting");
                if(option==1){
                    System.out.println("Year: "+chosenYear);
                    //break;
                    data.append("<H1>Other Day / Month / Year Record</H1>");
                    data.append("<p>Date: "+todayDay+"/"+todayMonth+"/"+todayYear+"</p><br>");
                    System.out.println("breaking out soon...");
            } else if(input.equals("Month/Year")){
                jDialog2.setSize(300,200);
                jDialog2.setVisible(true);
                //while(option!=1){
                //System.out.println("waiting");
                if(option==1){
                    System.out.println("Year: "+chosenYear);
                    //break;
                    data.append("<H1>Other Day / Month / Year Record</H1>");
                    data.append("<p>Date: "+todayDay+"/"+todayMonth+"/"+todayYear+"</p><br>");
                    System.out.println("breaking out soon...");
//            data.append("<H1>Other Day / Month / Year Record</H1>");
//            data.append("<p>Date: "+todayDay+"/"+todayMonth+"/"+todayYear+"</p><br>");
            System.out.println("break executed...");As you can see...I was originally thinking to use a while loop but it failed so I commented it out. I have been stuck in this programming logic of waiting for the user to choose an option form the jDialog before continuning in the main body. The jDialogs are already initiatized and both jDialogs would set the 'option' variable which has been init earlier on (the code is really too long to be placed here to '1' when it is ready for the program to resume to run the main body of the codes as you can see.
So anyone have any ideas how to get it solved ?
I do need a solution fast because these codes have a deadline in 2 weeks time.
