You can take a look at DialogWrapper.setErrorText()

You can override DialogWrapper.doOKAction() to smth like this:

@Override
protected void doOKAction() {
  if (isDataValid()) {
    super.doOKAction();
  } else {
    setErrorText("Text field is mandatory");
  }
}

Also, this check can be performed in TextField listener with DialogWrapper.setOKActionEnabled().

Also, if the dialog is simple, you might look at Messages.showInputDialog() and InputValidator / InputValidatorEx.
