Getting user input by JTextField in Java?
<p>I am trying to get user inputs from a textbox so I can take the user input to calculate the displacement for a ball.</p>

<p>I  tried this</p>

<pre><code>double initialvelocity = new JTextBox("enter your initial velocity");
</code></pre>

<p>so I have a variable with data that I can use. I just cant get it to work and this has been a obstacle to my first proper java project.</p>

<p>Could anyone suggest how I can get a variable to store data using <code>JTextField</code> or is there other alternatives?</p>
