Basic java

[santa]

Hello, im new to java. Could any one help me with a simple text problem? I want to make a program that first shows a textfeild that you can write text in. Sends the text to a mysql database, then sends it back and displays it in the same box as the textfield. I would like to do this on a very basic level =) any tips or ideas? thanks =)

This is the text box i had in mind

import java.awt.TextField;
import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.events.FocusEvent;
import org.eclipse.swt.events.FocusListener;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Text;

public class chat {

Display d;

Shell s;

void TextField() {
d = new Display();
s = new Shell(d);
s.setSize(250, 250);
s.setText("Chat box");
Text text1 = new Text(s, SWT.WRAP | SWT.BORDER);
text1.setBounds(100, 50, 100, 20);
text1.setTextLimit(100);
text1.setText("12345");
Text text2 = new Text(s, SWT.SINGLE | SWT.BORDER);
text2.setBounds(100, 75, 100, 20);
text2.setTextLimit(30);


FocusListener focusListener = new FocusListener() {
public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {
Text t = (Text) e.widget;
t.selectAll();
}

public void focusLost(FocusEvent e) {
Text t = (Text) e.widget;
if (t.getSelectionCount() > 0) {
t.clearSelection();
}
}
};
text1.addFocusListener(focusListener);
text2.addFocusListener(focusListener);
s.open();
while (!s.isDisposed()) {
if (!d.readAndDispatch())
d.sleep();
}
d.dispose();
}

public static void main(String[] arg) {
new TextField();


}
}

And I do have the "java.awt.TextField;" library. When i run this in eclipse i get no errors but nothing hapens at all =S there should be a box? Am i wrong? :)
