I'm doing a homework assignment using HashMap with GUI. The user will enter a Country, and the Capital of that country, and press Add, this will add those two Strings to the map, and it should add the Capital to the list on the right. The search function is next. The user will be able to type the name of the country, and it will highlight that countries capital in blue on the right among the other capitals that were added. Here is what it should look like.
How can I copy the contents of my hashMap to my JList? I only need the Capitals to display so I can search them.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.
P.S. Sorry for the generated code, the variable declarations are at the bottom because of it.

Look into the documentation of JList and it's many example use cases.
You can do something like this by modifying your adding values event using setListData() method:
private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt)
{
String text = countryInput.getText();
String text2 = capitalInput.getText();
hashMap.put(text,text2);
capitalList.setListData(hashMap.values().toArray());
}
I've successfully tested it:
MapPanel mp = new MapPanel();
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Countries and capitals");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.add(mp);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
After adding a country, its capital is shown up in the right list. Problem solved ;-)

I have this problem in JAVA where I need to take multiple doubles separated by; from a single jTextField and store them into an array each time I click save button, I also want to set a limit of 5 inputs for example :
12;13;14;15;16 into my jtextfield and then I want it to stop until I click on save and then it became blank and so on
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough it's my first time here and I'm still a beginner in JAVA.

you can take the JTextField text with getText() method and then you can tokenize this string with StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(textField.getText(),";"). Then you can store every char between ";" with
int i=0;
while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
array[i] = st.nextToken();
i++;
}
Remember that a size of an array is static and defined when the array is declared and initialized. You can use other data structure, such as an ArrayList<T>.
I hope that this is what you want.
i'm currently working on a java desktop project , oddly enough whenever i hit the run button , the Jpanel doesn't show up. I declared this as main but still it doesn't works. Any ideas ?
Here is the code for my Jpanel form.

Nothing "odd" about this. Your ventana class is a JPanel, and yes, you create it and set it visible, but a JPanel by itself can not display, and to in fact have it show, it needs to be part of a visible "top-level window" such as a JFrame or JDialog. So if you want to show this JPanel in its own separate dialog window, put it into a JDialog, pack() the dialog, and then set the dialog visible. Or the quick and dirty way to do this is to put the ventana JPanel into a JOptionPane. e.g.,
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, new ventana());
A JOptionPane will then create and display a modal JDialog that will display your ventana object.
Note that the ventana class name should begin with an upper-case letter, like all Java class names should.
my question is very simple but I but i don't know what it is
I have a program, in java, like so
and I want to add on the JTextArea's a short message that disappeares when clicked or selected, like when you login on facebook
The JTextArea i want is for example the one below the "Startind Date:" the JTextArea is called textAreaStartindDate
this is my code so far. i used the netbeans built in design option

without using the obvious
In general you can use an ActionListener or a MouseListener.
For you did not post any code, we cannot help you out exactly. But maybe this post helps:
Onclick for TextField
Add a default text when initializing the JTextArea. Then add a FocusListener. like below:
textAreaDescription = new javax.swing.JTextArea("Description");
//jScrollPane1.setViewportView(textAreaDescription);
textAreaDescription.addFocusListener(new FocusListener() {
public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {
textAreaDescription.setText("");
}
public void focusLost(FocusEvent e) {
textAreaDescription.setText("Description");
}
});

You can do it with next code in your actionPerformed() method:
AnotherFrame f = new AnotherFrame();
f.setNeededData(/*object*/);
f.pack();
f.setVisible(true);
AnotherFrame is JFrame which you want to create and show.
setNeededData(/*object*/) is method of your frame to transfer neededData.
and last 2 lines show it.
On the click of button you can simply create the object of the JFrame which you want to open and it will load the components in it (as you must be calling initComponents() method in the default constructor).
For passing the parameters from one frame to another you can simply create a POJO and set its properties in the current frame and pass this object to the destination frame while creating the object.
I hope this helps..
On button click ActionEvent:
Create the object of class which has the frame creation function and using that object call the newFrame function :
newframe frm = new newframe(this);
frm.NewFrame();
Suppose this function is in package package org.xyz.frame;
public void NewFrame(){
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Frame2");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
try
{
for (LookAndFeelInfo info : UIManager
.getInstalledLookAndFeels()) {
if ("Nimbus".equals(info.getName())) {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(info.getClassName());
break;
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
frame.getContentPane().add(BorderLayout.CENTER, panel);
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(ui);
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationByPlatform(true);
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.setResizable(false);
}
I'm trying to add a listener to my program that when a panel is clicked it will open a new JFrame. For instance jpanel4 is the panel labled messages. When I click on jpanel4 I would like it to open the SendMessages JFrame which is the SendMessages class.
Any insight on what direction I need to go? Is this method even viable?

This is what I ended up using.

Check out How to mouse listeners, but basically
jpanel4.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent evt) {
//...
}
});
