Displaying a JTextField?

[Gamedisolver]

I am trying to make the JTextField turn its input to a string that i can use in other classes and display it in System.out.println();

code:

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.Rectangle;
import java.awt.TextField;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;

public class Level1Expeirement1 extends JFrame {

private static String title = "Expeirement1";
private static int width = 700;
private static int height = 700;

//buttons
private JPanel window = new JPanel();
private JButton cancel, ok, expirement3;
private Rectangle rcancel, rok, rexpirement3, ritem1;
private String hypothisis;
private JTextField item1 = new JTextField(hypothisis);


public static Font font = new Font("Comic Sans MS", Font.BOLD, 12);


public void Level1Expeirement1() {

setVisible(true);
setSize(width, height);
setResizable(false);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
getContentPane().add(window);
setLocationRelativeTo(null);
setTitle(title);
setBackground(Color.GREEN);


window.setLayout(null);

Drawbutton();


}

private void Drawbutton() {

//draws buttons
//level 1 button
ok = new JButton("ok");
// location size
// 20 50 80 100
rok = new Rectangle(60, 50, 180, 40);
ok.setBounds(rok);
window.add(ok);
//use to add graphics
//singleplayer.setIcon(new ImageIcon("res/singleplayer.png"));

cancel = new JButton("cancel");
// location size
// 20 50 80 100
rcancel = new Rectangle(60, 100, 180, 40);
cancel.setBounds(rcancel);
window.add(cancel);

item1 = new JTextField();
// location size
// 20 50 80 100
ritem1 = new Rectangle(60, 150, 180, 40);
item1.setBounds(ritem1);
window.add(item1);

//listener

item1.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
System.out.println(hypothisis);


}
});
}
}
