You may need to provide a little more information.  I know that I have
successfully used JOptionPane and JDialogs both before and after creating
EmbeddedSwingComposites.  The code I am working from is modified from
Gordon's original article code.

Originally I was often having this problem when an invisible dialog was
added to the SwtInputBlocker... but I believe the fix for that one has since
been applied to the sample code.

I would also suspect that you are getting pop-under windows (your swing
window could be trapped behind your SWT Window) but it is hard to say.  You
could also try the changes Gordon and I discuss in the September 19th post
to this group.

In short, I would hazard a guess that compatibility issues such as this are
vital to the project and will eventually be worked out.
