you may want to add them into a JWindow and show/hide as popup!

Moreover doing it this way .. I guess I will have to create a separate new JWindow everytime I want a popup with text field. or else I will have to add/remove JTextFields everytime ??

But this is really strange that there is no in built pop up with text field. As it is used pretty frequently.
Moreover I want to add functionalities like .. popping it up next to pressed button.
And depending on which button is pressed I want to save text entered at different places. All this will require additional code. :(

yes, it needs lots of code, you need to get the click location and place the window in that location!
you may follow this idea as well, no need to worry about the location, http://www.coderanch.com/t/341327/GUI/java/custom-popup-panel-display-hide
