            System.out.println(loginDialog.getUsername());
            System.out.println(loginDialog.getPassword());
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        LoginDialog loginDialog = new LoginDialog();
        new Controller(loginDialog);
    }
}

You have TWO login dialogs - one created in main (line 24), the other created in showLoginDialog() (line 72).
The line 24 one gets the action listener, but the line 72 one is the one that is displayed, and that has no action listener.

thank you
