title: using buttons in netbeans gui frame
body: <p>Ok, so I'm pretty noob at JAVA, and programming in general really.  I'm trying to make a rock, paper, scissors app that with run with a GUI interface.  What I'm trying is the simplest thing I thought of, press a button for your choice (r, p, or s) and that will make a variable used in the rest of the program to compare to the computer's choice, finding the winner, etc.  I already have the program worked out, the problem is the GUI stuff.  I'm using netbeans and a JFrame, which is completely new to me.  I have a lot of questions, and maybe there is a nice tutorial out there for me someone could link to, but using the official netbeans site hasn't helped much so far.  Anyways:</p>

  <li><p>I'm not sure where to put my main method code that would be in the text program, make a new class, or put it in the main method of the frame I use.</p></li>
  <li><p>Because of that, the reason I can't even compile is that the main function is trying to use the variable I want to make in the button. The whole order of operation is unknown to me I guess.  I looked at the netbeans examples and I think I could make this work by doing something a little more complex, but it seems unnecessary?</p></li>
