Get "Frame"(?) as a methode

Hello all
I'm kind of new to java (kind of, i know the basics by now) :)
Anyway, as our first script in school, we did a "frame" code, that gave out a box with text inside. that was just to see how a code looked like... Now, 1,5 years later, i'm still trying to figure how it works.

Anyway, now i want to implent the old code as a method into another code. Is that possible?
The code (Edited today, with lines i found on internet :p )

Code:

---

import java.awt.*;
class test2 extends Frame
                {
                        Font f;
                        Dimension ssize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
                        int x = (int) (ssize.getWidth()) / 2;
                          int y = (int) (ssize.getHeight()) / 2;

                        test2()      //konstruktor för klassen test2
                        {
                                f=new Font("Sansserif",Font.BOLD,100);
                                setBackground(Color.black);
                                setSize(x*2, y);
                        }
                       
                        public void paint(Graphics g)
                        {
                                g.setFont(f);
                                g.setColor(Color.white);
                                g.drawString("Vakna", x, y);
                        }
                       
                        public static void vakna()
                        {
                                test2 t2 = new test2();
                                t2.setVisible(true);
                        }
                }

---

Anyone can help me implenitng in into another code?

Code:

---

                test2.vakna();

---

doesn't seem to be enough

I kind of know what i've edited, that the way i've learned most; During lessons, and asking for help with stuff that our teacher doesn't know how to do.

The long code, test2, is made in a ways i haven't seen, we usually start codes like:

Code:

---

import javax.swing.*;

public class StartCode
{
        public static void main (String [] arg)
        {
                //Blabla
        }       
}

---

And have more imports, methods and so on.
What i want to do is use the test2 code as a methode, or make it pop up like a

Code:

---

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "BlaBla");

---

I mean, I'm making a simple alarm-clock. And instead of

Code:

---

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "WAKE UP");

---

I want something larger, and the frame thingy is good for this, because i can make it for half the screen. :p (And yes, i've set some sound into the code)

1) Throw out that old code as it uses AWT and you really want to use Swing.
2) Go through the Sun Swing tutorial as what you want to learn is the basics of creating GUIs, and this tutorial can show you this.
