You may want to check out a book about JFC (Java Foundation Classes) to get a handle on how Swing works, not just how to use it
Just a reference guide to it because getting a book that teaches you about java should lead you to your understanding of the JFC of Swing...

the O'Reilly books that have ...in a nutshell usually mean, learn the thing first and then come here for a reference
the jfc
the second book is slightly outdated, covers J2SE 1.3 but the classes don't change much and if you have a discrepency you can check the API's on the java.sun.com site for reference help.

The basic thing is getting the reference and understanding how it works with respect to how YOU want it to work, then you can take that and put it into your program however you would like...with some manipulation...:)

Hello Friend;

>> please say how I compile and run java code

In a command promt of dos promt you can type something like this :

// for compiling
c:\javac\bin\javac Your.java

// for running
c:\javac\bin\java Your

Where " c:javac" is the jdk version. If you plan to use an IDE you just need
to invoke where is jdk located, some IDE's are auto detect.

before you can compile or run a java file or before you can use a IDE
you need 1st to install a jdk which you can find at :

If your new to Java here is where you should start :
