Hi.. I'm a new programmer.
We have this project.. FLAMES.. I was able to run my program without using JFrame..(you can see the codes below).
Just that I don't know how to use JFrame... I need to run the program using the window with the buttons and textfields.. I know how to create the window with the buttons and everything..but I don't know how could I "bind" my program to the window that I've created...

public class Main {

/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/

static Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
public static StringUtil obj = new StringUtil();
public static void main(String[] args) {
playGame();

}
public static void playGame()
{
String wantRead;
int want = 0;

wantRead = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("F L A M E S\nMenu\n1-Play\n0-Exit");
want = Integer.parseInt(wantRead);
if(want == 1)
{
gameProp();
}
else
{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Till next time! Thanks ");
System.exit(0);
}


}

public static String trim(String sentence)
{
sentence = sentence.toLowerCase();
String newName = "";
char[] nameIs = sentence.toCharArray();
int i;

for(i = 0; i<sentence.length(); i++)
{
if(obj.isAlpha(nameIs[i]))
newName += nameIs[i];
}
return newName;
}

public static int compareNames(String name1, String name2)
{
char[] nameOne = name1.toCharArray();
char[] nameTwo = name2.toCharArray();
int i, j, counter = 0;
for(i = 0; i < name1.length(); i++)
{
for(j = 0; j <name2.length(); j++)
{
if(nameOne[i] == nameTwo[j])
{
counter++;


break;
}
}

}
String output = " "+counter;
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, output);
return counter;
}

public static void match(int count, String name1, String name2)
{
String output = "";
if(count%6 != 0)
count = count%6;
else
count = 6;

if(count == 1)
output = name1 + " & " + name2 + "\n\nFRIENDS";
else if ( count == 2)
output = name1 + " & " + name2 + "\n\nLOVERS";
else if ( count == 3)
output = name1 + " & " + name2 + "\n\nANGRY";
else if ( count == 4)
output = name1 + " & " + name2 + "\n\nMARRIAGE";
else if ( count == 5)
output = name1 + " & " + name2 + "\n\nENEMIES";
else if ( count == 6)
output = name1 + " & " + name2 + "\n\nSWEETHEARTS";



JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, output);

}

public static void gameProp()
{
String first = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter full name of person #1: ");
String second = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter full name of person #2: ");
String new1st = trim(first);
String new2nd = trim(second);
String output = first+"\n"+second;
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, output);

int ctrName = compareNames(new1st, new2nd);
match(ctrName, first, second);
}
}

public class StringUtil {

public boolean isAlpha(char x)
{
if((x=='a')||(x=='b')||(x=='c')||(x=='d')||(x=='e'))
return true;
else if((x=='f')||(x=='g')||(x=='h')||(x=='i')||(x=='j'))
return true;
else if((x=='k')||(x=='l')||(x=='m')||(x=='n')||(x=='o'))
return true;
else if((x=='p')||(x=='q')||(x=='r')||(x=='s')||(x=='t'))
return true;
else if((x=='u')||(x=='v')||(x=='w')||(x=='x')||(x=='y')||(x=='z'))
return true;
else
return false;

}

}


PS. I just don't have any idea..how these things could be done using the window

THANKS IN ADVANCE TO ALL WHO ARE WILLING TO HELP

Well, better start with reading some basic tutorials on how working with swing's components.
this is sun's tutorial specifically about JFrame and containers:
http://java.sun.com/...s/toplevel.html

and this is the full swing tutorial of sun:
http://java.sun.com/...torial/uiswing/
you can find all about JComponents as JButtons, JLabels etc.

once you get some ideas, and code, feel free to post again if you encounter any problem or errors.
Good Luck!

        else
        return false;
        
    }

You can use the method Character.isLetter(char);
