Can anyone assist me with the GUI for this program. I have tried several times will little luck. Here is the source code. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

import java.text.DecimalFormat;
import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class Inventory1  
{

   
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        
        // Information on the Cds used
        Cd a = new Cd( 1, "10 Years", 6, 9.49, "10 Years");
        Cd b =  new Cd( 2, "System of a Down", 12, 9.99, "Hypnotize");
        Cd c = new Cd( 3, "Trapt", 45, 11.47, "Trapt");
        Cd d = new Cd( 4, "Social Distortion", 8, 7.99, "S L and R&R");
        Cd e = new Cd( 5, "Seether", 15, 11.99, "Seether" );
        
        // Adds the Cds to the inventory class
        Inventory inventory = new Inventory();
        inventory.add(a);
        inventory.add(b);
        inventory.add(c);
        inventory.add(d);
        inventory.add(e);
        
        // Sorts the Cds
        inventory.bubbleSort();
        
        // Formats the Cd table
       // System.out.println("---+----------------------+------"
	//			+ "+----------+------------+------------+----------------+");

		

		
      //  System.out.println(String.format( "%-2s | %-15s | %2s | %7s |%7s | %10s | %10s", "#", "Name", "Qty", "Price", "Total", "Cd Title", "Restocking Fee"));
        
      //  System.out.println("---+----------------------+------"
	//			+ "+----------+------------+------------+----------------+");
       
            
        String label1;
        // Creates a for loop to print out the Cds
        for( int i = 0; i < inventory.getCount(); i++ ) {

don't know what you've tried, but looks to me like your conversion would be a lot easier if you splitted all logic that's into your main method into methods.

the only thing that has to be in your main method, is a call to the gui (even if that is just a cmd prompt gui with a few lines saying what options you have).

start of with that, I might have some time later today to help you any further.

A main difference between using console I/O with a user and a GUI is that the program doesn't ask a question and wait for the response in the same way.
With GUI the program shows a screen with the question and some input areas and buttons that the user can fill in and press a button. The program shows this screen and then exits to the JVM to wait on the user's input. When the user enters data and presses a button, the JVM calls a listener method in the program where the code can gather the data that was entered, do some processing, build and show a new GUI and then return to the JVM to wait for the user to respond.

Thanks for the advice I will work off create methods and try this again. I will repost if I have any other questions.
