The only books that I have experience with include some chapters on Swing but focus mosly on core Java and OOP concepts. Then later in the book then introduce Swing and how to apply what you have learned about core Java to a GUI.
Building Swing isn't quite like VB where you drag and drop a button, then write some code in the Button OnClick sub routine.
I would highly recomend learning the core Java language first as building a Swing GUI does require you to know about inheritance, interfaces, etc.
The book that I learned from is "Head First Java". It does go over core Java and some Swing toward the end.

The events are fired/triggered for you by the API and all you do is associate the handler and put business logic into it.

I ask because you are correct that what you want would be part of another book. So that book should be on the right technology.

James Harte wrote:If you are going to talk about ActionListener and actionPerformed() then you need to first consider ActionEvent.
- ActionEvent is, as the name would imply, an event which has occurred.
- ActionListener is an object which is listening for the event. Please note that ActionListener is an interface which a class may implement.
- actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) is the action (method) which a listener is going to do when the listener finds out that the event has occurred.
Please note that if you want a listener to listen for a particular event, then you need to have a line similar to the following:
someComponent.addActionListener(instanceOfActionListener);

We generally implements ActionListener and override actionPerformed(...) method.

just create yourapp.jar and take along the derby.jar and place them both on the classpath before executing and that should work. All you really need is derby.jar
