Build Every Java Program in Gui

The document compares four methods of user input and output in Java: Console, JOptionPane, Swing, and JavaFX. Each method is illustrated with complete code examples that demonstrate how to ask for a user's name and display a welcome message. The document also includes a side-by-side feature comparison and emphasizes that the underlying logic remains consistent across all methods, with only the user interface differing.

Simple Input/Output Comparison

Suppose we want to ask the user for their name and display a welcome message.

1. Console
Input
Scanner input = new Scanner([Link]);
String name = [Link]();

Output
[Link]("Welcome " + name);

Complete Program
import [Link];

public class Main {


public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner input = new Scanner([Link]);

[Link]("Enter Name: ");


String name = [Link]();

[Link]("Welcome " + name);


}
}

2. JOptionPane
Input
String name =
[Link]("Enter Name");

Output
[Link](
null,
"Welcome " + name);

Complete Program
import [Link];

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

String name =
[Link]("Enter Name");

[Link](
null,
"Welcome " + name);
}
}

3. Swing
Input Component
JTextField txtName = new JTextField();

Output Component
JLabel lblResult = new JLabel();

Complete Program
import [Link].*;

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

JFrame frame = new JFrame("Swing Example");

JTextField txtName = new JTextField();

JButton btn = new JButton("Show");

JLabel lblResult = new JLabel();

[Link](50, 30, 150, 30);


[Link](50, 70, 150, 30);
[Link](50, 110, 200, 30);

[Link](e -> {
String name = [Link]();
[Link]("Welcome " + name);
});

[Link](txtName);
[Link](btn);
[Link](lblResult);

[Link](300, 250);
[Link](null);
[Link](true);
[Link](JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}
}

4. JavaFX
Input Component
TextField txtName = new TextField();

Output Component
Label lblResult = new Label();

Complete Program
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link].*;
import [Link];
import [Link];

public class Main extends Application {

@Override
public void start(Stage stage) {

TextField txtName = new TextField();

Button btn = new Button("Show");

Label lblResult = new Label();

[Link](e -> {
String name = [Link]();
[Link]("Welcome " + name);
});

VBox root = new VBox(10);

[Link]().addAll(
txtName,
btn,
lblResult
);

Scene scene =
new Scene(root, 300, 200);

[Link](scene);
[Link]("JavaFX Example");
[Link]();
}

public static void main(String[] args) {


launch();
}
}

Side-by-Side Comparison
Feature Console JOptionPane Swing JavaFX
Input Scanner showInputDialog() JTextField TextField
Output println() showMessageDialog() JLabel Label
Button ❌ ❌ JButton Button
Window Terminal Popup JFrame Stage
GUI ❌ Basic Yes Modern
Difficulty Easy Easy Medium Medium

Same Logic in All Four


Get Name
↓
Store in Variable
↓
Display Welcome Message

Only the input/output mechanism changes:

Console
Scanner → println

JOptionPane
showInputDialog → showMessageDialog

Swing
JTextField → JLabel

JavaFX
TextField → Label

This is the natural learning progression:

Console
↓
JOptionPane
↓
Swing
↓
JavaFX

The business logic (variables, loops, conditions, methods, OOP) stays almost identical; only
the user interface changes.
