Description copied from interface: WindowProvider

Tries to find a window. The result should either be a Frame or a Dialog, and a plain Window only as last resort. If possible the main-frame or another important window that will not be closed soon should be returned. Visible windows are preferred over non visible ones. This method is not guaranteed to have success, null is a valid result. This method is not required to return always the same window, however the WindowProviderListeners should be informed when the result changes.

Returns:

if possible a visible Frame which won't be closed in the near future, any window which does not fulfill the requirements or null if no window is available at all.
