console and JTesxtField

[gazale_m]

I wrote a Program which as an inputtake the file path in the Console and open it.

	public void readTheFile()throws IOException{	
 
	Start frame = new Start();// next step "open the start() class"
        InputStreamReader inStream = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
	BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader(inStream);
	String fileName;
	System.out.println("Please give your path");
	fileName = stdin.readLine();
        File file = new File(fileName);

now I have tried to take the input from a window with (Swing, apt oder Gui) :

public class Start extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
	public Start() {
            JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
	    JFrame frame = new JFrame();
	    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
	    frame.setTitle("Input Window ");
	    frame.setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 2));
	    frame.add(new JLabel("Please give your path:"));
	    final JTextField textfield = new JTextField(16);
	    textfield.addActionListener(this);
	    frame.add(textfield);
	   JButton button1 = new JButton("GO!");
	    frame.add(button1);
	    button1.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
	    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
	   					String text = textfield.getText();
	   					}
	    });

but it doesn't funtion !! what am I doing Wrong??:confused:

Do you get any error messages, if so please copy-paste here to see.

I don't get any error messages! I just get a Box and a button with a cursor in it .
I want it to get the input string after I press the button (String text =textfield.getText() ) !! just like the console input!
