Hi. I currently have set up a GUI to have buttons on, linking to all my other classes.
I am wondering how I would put the date and time at the bottom of the JFrame/JPanel. How would I do this, and will I put it within my GUI class, or make a new one?
Thank You.

Date today = new Date();
label.setText("today is: " + today);if you want the current time to be updated continuously, you might want to use a thread to do so
Place collected date&time from Date class in form of text to JLabel
PS: just like stultuske showed in his post just that crucial second before me LOL

Sorry, probably a very simple thing, but I dont understand. Where do I put this within my code?

You want to have date&time at the bottom of the frame so place it inside guiMenu() before setVisible() for simplicity now.
I have created this, but the two "Date" appear in red so the program sends back errors...
private JLabel label;
Date today = new Date();
label.setText("today is: " + today);
Don't forget import java.util.Date;
Date today = new Date();
JLabel label = new JLabel();
label.setText("today is: "+today.toString());
panel.add(label);Few notes:
panel.setLayout(null); are you sure you want to do this? You better to leave default layout or set one. No errors come up, but the date and time is still not appearing...
Hence my hint on panel.setLayout(null); , comment it out and see what happens. Maybe after that you go for layouts ;)
