Is this a "good" way to handle classes?

[ocean]

Hi, Im trying to learn how classes and method´s really work. After reading and trying i come up with.

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JMenu;
import javax.swing.JMenuBar;
import javax.swing.JTextField;

public class test1 {
	 	
	private JTextField createText(){
		JTextField aTextField;
		aTextField = new JTextField();
		return aTextField;
	}
      
	private JMenuBar createMenu() {
		JMenuBar aMenuBar;
    	        JMenu aMenu;
    	  
    	        aMenuBar = new JMenuBar();
    	        aMenu = new JMenu("Arkiv 1");
         	aMenuBar.add(aMenu);
    	        return aMenuBar;
		}
	
	private static void gui() {
			JFrame aFrame = new JFrame("gui");
			aFrame.setVisible(true);
			
			test1 menu = new test1();
			aFrame.setJMenuBar(menu.createMenu());
			
			test1 text = new test1();
			aFrame.add(text.createText());
						
			aFrame.setSize(200, 200);
			aFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
	   }
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
	    gui();
		}	
	}

Would like some critique.

...Would like some critique.

You realize that

private JTextField createText(){
		JTextField aTextField;
		aTextField = new JTextField();
		return aTextField;
}

can be collapsed into

private JTextField createText(){
	return new JTextField();
}

Which should get you into thinking about whether you really need that method at all.

If you are learning about methods don't bring Swing into it. Swing is a different beast altogether which you would need to learn later after understanding the methods basics.
