Turn GUI Into Use-Able Program
I used JFormDesigner to create a GUI, and now I need to find out how I can export it so that it's a use-able program. Here's the code (not sure if you'll need it):
Java Code:import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.*; /* * Created by JFormDesigner on Wed Jun 15 20:34:16 EDT 2011 */ public class NPCSpawn extends JFrame { public NPCSpawn() { initComponents(); } private void button1ActionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { //Generate String tf1 = textField1.getText(); String tf2 = textField2.getText(); String tf3 = textField3.getText(); String tf4 = textField4.getText(); String tf5 = textField5.getText(); String tf6 = textField6.getText(); String tf7 = textField7.getText(); String tf8 = textField8.getText(); String tf9 = textField9.getText(); String tf10 = textField10.getText(); String tf11 = textField11.getText(); String tf12 = textField12.getText(); textArea1.setText("<npcSpawn>" + " <!--" + tf2 + "-->" + "\n\t<npcId>" + tf1 + "</npcId>" + "\n\t<walkingType>" + tf3 + "</walkingType>" + "\n\t<spawnLocation>" + "\n\t\t<x>" + tf4 + "</x>" + "\n\t\t<y>" + tf5 + "</y>" + "\n\t\t<z>" + tf6 + "</z>" + "\n\t</spawnLocation>" + "\n\t<minLocation>" + "\n\t\t<x>" + tf7 + "</x>" + "\n\t\t<y>" + tf8 + "</y>" + "\n\t\t<z>" + tf9 + "</z>\n\t</minLocation>" + "\n\t<maxLocation>" + "\n\t\t<x>" + tf10 + "</x>" + "\n\t\t<y>" + tf11 + "</y>" + "\n\t\t<z>" + tf12 + "</z>" + "\n\t</maxLocation>" + "\n</npcSpawn>"); } private void button2ActionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { //Reset textField1.setText(""); textField2.setText(""); textField3.setText(""); textField4.setText(""); textField5.setText(""); textField6.setText(""); textField7.setText(""); textField8.setText(""); textField9.setText(""); textField10.setText(""); textField11.setText(""); textField12.setText(""); } private void button3ActionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { //Add to XML } private void initComponents() { // JFormDesigner - Component initialization - DO NOT MODIFY //GEN-BEGIN:initComponents menuBar1 = new JMenuBar();

A main method helps: Lesson: A Closer Look at the "Hello World!" Application (The Java™ Tutorials > Getting Started)
As does packaging your application in an executable jar
Lesson: Packaging Programs in JAR Files (The Java™ Tutorials > Deployment)
Assuming you are using Eclipse based upon the forum you posted in, you can just file->export the jar

Alright, I think I needed the main method instead of what I currently have. I'll try it out.
