Java Swing:主类等到JFrame关闭

I need some help with a simple java application which makes use of two jframe to get some input parameters. Here's a sketch of my code:

//second jframe, called when the button OK of the first frame is clicked
public class NewParamJFrame extends JFrame{
  ...
}

//first jframe
public class StartingJFrame extends JFrame{
  private static  NewParamJFrame newPFrame = null;
  private JTextField gnFilePath;
  private JButton btnOK;

  public StartingJFrame(){
            //..
    initComponents();
  }

  private void initComponents(){
     btnOK.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
        try{
        EventQueue.invokeAndWait(new Runnable(){
           public void run() {
               try {
               newPFrame = new NewParamJFrame();
               newPFrame.setVisible(true);
               } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
               }
           }
         });
        }
        catch(InvocationTargetException e2) {} 
        catch(InterruptedException e1){}
        dispose();
      }
  }

  public String getText(){
       return gnFilePath.getText();
  }
}

public class Main {
  private static StartingJFrame begin = null;
  public static void main(String[] args) {
     try{
        EventQueue.invokeAndWait(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                try {
                    begin = new StartingJFrame();
                    begin.setVisible(true);
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        });
    }
    catch(InvocationTargetException e) {} 
    catch(InterruptedException e1){}

    String s= begin.getText();

    //...use s ...
  }
}

对 getText() 的调用会导致 NullPointerException.我希望主课等到框架关闭，但我不知道该怎么做.我是第一次使用swing.
