| I want to make a simple user interface. The Roblox equivalent of a Textbox and a button that prints the text. How would I do so? |

To access those, you have to add this to the top of your code:
import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JTextLabel;
OR
import javax.swing.*;
Then you have to work with the layouts and new windows and all that garbage. If you want a sample, let me know and I'll write one up for you. |

| Or you can have eclipse import everything you need instead of hunting down what has to be imported specifically. |

| What's the main differences between Eclipse and Netbeans? I personally use Netbeans however I've heard a lot more people talking about eclipse than netbeans. |

Netbeans is really only good if you want to develop GUIs with extreme ease. Eclipse is the best for straight-up coding
In a professional outlook, do NOT use Netbeans. My dad and his team work with Java for Nationwide Insurance and he explained that Eclipse (SpringSource STS Version preferably) is the best thing to use. |

"I want to make a simple user interface. The Roblox equivalent of a Textbox and a button that prints the text. How would I do so?"
import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.event.*;
public class Test { // Test.java file public static void main(String[] args) { JFrame frame = new JFrame("Print Testing Window"); JButton button = new JButton("Click to Print"); JPanel panel = new JPanel();
final JTextField text = new JTextField(100); // final to be able to access inside anonymous classes
frame.add(panel); panel.add(text); panel.add(button);
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { // class of type X (unknown) that implements ActionListener // AKA anonymous class public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { System.out.println(text.getText()); } });
frame.setVisible(true); frame.pack(); } }
You may have to add a couple more imports. I just typed this up on the spot. |

@AgentFireFox,
I caught a failure in your code. :P
import javax.swing.; //Why do you have a . without a *!??!
Use this for the javax.swing import.
import javax.swing.*; //Will import ALL of javax.swing's importable stuff.
- Cheers! |

Although NetBean's is good, I use a program my dad's company BUILT, and only his company has it.
The main thing I like about their program is that it has auto-update on UI. So I have a window in the left that show's what my UI will look like.

@AgentFireFox,
Honestly, I'm new to Java (Started yesterday) do I not need the *? Actually does the * do what I said it does? Import all of the javax.swing importable stuff? Sorry, also, I couldn't tell if you were joking, or using sarcasm. LOL.
- Cheers! |

My code had *. Yes, * does import ALL components. I believe you can also do something like .A* to import all classes beginning with A (though don't quote me on that). |

What?
I'm looking at your code right now, I do not see any *'s.

You would have to set the layout to null, then manually set the position and size of each object.
panel.setLayout(null); button.setBounds(10, 10, 100, 60); //@ (10, 10) w/ size of 100x60 panel.add(button); |
