I recommend you start off with only one textbox and a label. After you complete it, experiment a bit with more labels and boxes..

Here is how you would add a JTextfield and a JLabel. Note you will still need to create a main class:

Code:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event;
import javax.swing.*;

public class YouClassNameHere extends JPanel{
    
    private JLabel YourInputLabel;
    private JTextfield YourTextField;
    public YourClassNameHere(){
       
        YourInputLabel = new JLabel("You write something here");
        YourTextField = new JTextField(#); //where # is any number. Gives a size to the TextField.
        YourTextField.addActionListener(new TempListener());//this will tell the program that you want to interact with it.
        
        add (YourInputLabel);
        add(YourTextField);
        setPreferredSize(new Dimension(300,75));
        setBackground (Color.yellow);
     }
//Then just add a TempListener class. Inside this class, you might want
//to define some variables, and perform some operations.
}

As far as joining the inputs, you can do it this way

Code:

String String1 = new String("Hello");
String String2 = new String("World!");
String String3 = new String(String1 + " " + String2); //Creates a new String with the values of String1 and String2
System.out.println(String3);

Greetings.
