The phrase "show within the GUI" is ambiguous.
One way to get the values would be to call .setTitle() on the JFrame itself and put your values in the title bar. That way, you could consult them even while laying out widgets within the frame.
Another way would be to set your values at text in a JLabel on a JPanel in the JFrame.
A different way would be to log the info and keep your GUI clean.
