So im fairly new to Java, anyway i have a implemented a simple Java program on IntelliJ which runs in the IntelliJ terminal, it basically ask the user to input some details and then records them along with the current time.
I now want to style it out using HTML/CSS to convert it into a webpage, where the user would enter the details into input boxes etc.
Im not sure how to approach this, what would be my best shot?
Also the user input is also being stored in a variable at the moment, would i have to use a database instead for a webpage?
Thanks.

Well I would recommend you to read first about what is Model-View-Controller paradigm in web page architecture, then you can probably better reply to yourself in terms of what you need for your webpage in order to do what you want.
I will grasp some about the things that you need:
You will need a database to store your user input details along with with the current time. (MySQL for example)
After that you need to define which type of data you need to save, you will have to make models in java for parsing those details from java to the db and vice versa.
Then you will need to create some services (You can learn about repositories before services if you need, which you probably would) to support those connections with the database in which you will retrieve data from DB.
A way to control how those services to serve your webpage is having a controller for processing the HTTP requests.
Last but not least, the controller will "glue" your jsp views with the data from services to be shown in your browser.
There will be many other ways, at least this is the way I know. I use Spring framework for building the MVC.

You have to do full stack page with java backend and html & css for the front-end.
Do a webservice with spring boot this generate a restful API to communicate with your web page using HTTP methods ( Get, Post, Put and delete ) and use AngularJS for example to parse the webservice created.
check out this : example

Quite simply, you'll need a web server to spit out HTML. I mean, there's lots of ways you could do it, but far and away the most popular is a web server.
There are lots of options for you. As an Eclipse fanboy myself, I can't say specifically, but a cursory google search yields this Tomcat plugin which should allow you to run a web server via IntelliJ. There are probably dozens of other plugins for differnt web servers you could use.
What you put into that server is up to you - it could be a simple html document populated by parameters, a REST endpoint, a JSP, who knows what. That's beyond the scope of the question - the first step is getting your web server up and running and then deciding the framework to use.

I'm new in Java EE (J2EE) , i would like to build web application that store users and passwords in databases than they can login and login out , after that i want let them can add , delete and edit fields like in this pic:
Table
Edit table
Is there examples of that, thank you

There are no specific technologies for building an application like that, there are hundreds of technologies in thousands of combinations that will build a simple CRUD web application. You have specified that you want to use Java EE, but even that is not specific enough: do you want to use Java as a front end technology (eg JSP, JSF, etc) or just for server side processing? I would recommend that you investigate front end frameworks/technologies, different types of databases and different architectural styles and decide which combination is right for your application. Only that can you begin to think about examples and tutorials that will show you how to put them together.
To give you a starting point, the flavour of the month in front end technologies seems to be javascript frameworks like AngularJS (prior to that java based technologies were preferred in many cases). You can use this to communicate with RESTful web services written in Java EE. NoSQL databases like MongoDB are popular at the moment, but you could use a more traditional relational database like MySQL. Both of these databases work well with hibernate.
Bear in mind that is just a starting point for your research and may not be appropriate for your application.

I'm looking for a framework, to simply create a administration tool (web project preferred).
Hibernate models are available, but there are many 1:n and n:m relations.
Is there an easy way, to create a administration tool as quick as possible? Is Spring ROO a solution for this? Or Smart GWT Power edition? Wicket?
Greetings

I would not go with Spring Roo + GWT, and let me give you some reasons:
1.- Spring Roo setups projects based on AspectJ and a complex scaffolding of classes in GWT with MVP, RF, which makes complex code, difficult to follow/modify, and difficult to deal with it in IDEs.
2.- The Spring Roo documentation about GWT is vague and confuse. There are certain combinations of JPA provider and database providers which do not work. I think they are not very focused on the GWT setup and probably they are thinking on removing it.
3.- One of the best java frameworks around GWT is vaadin: Vaadin is a Java framework for building modern web applications that look great, perform well and make you and your users happy. Take a look to their 3 minute video if you have a while. Vaadin 6 did have support for Spring-roo, see chapter 14 of its documentation, but with Vaadin 7 they have removed that chapter.
Said that, and based on my experience, I would discard spring-roo + GWT. Although it produces a CRUD with a few commands, if your customer wants to modify few things it is not trivial.
If you need GWT, I'd rather go with a full gwt framework like Vaadin or Errai. Otherwise, If you want spring-roo, use their JSF scaffolding instead of GWT

Maybe JSF in an option. Look at NetBeans generator for JSF CRUD application from an existing DB: https://netbeans.org/kb/docs/web/jsf20-crud.html

You can try with Oracle ADF. It comes included with JDeveloper IDE. You can easily create a CRUD application within a day (as a Fusion application) using drag & drop feature for UI components and deploy it to the internal WebLogic Server , or to any other application server: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/overview/index.html

I am studying Java EE technology. I noticed that JSF is an available choice for developing web application. But is it the only choice if I wanna use Java EE tech?

You have numerous Choices when it comes to choosing Web Application Frameworks, depending upon your choice you select one.
You can go for no framework too, but it would be like ending up with complex designs that even yourself won't be able to understand later.
JSF, Netty, Seam, Sitemesh, Spark, Spring MVC, Stripes, Struts, VRaptor, Wicket are some of the examples you can go for.
With JSF, you have navigational framework, MVC framework and RichFaces/IceFaces for front-end. With others, you have navigation and mvc too, and you can use jQuery for front-end.
When it comes to using Databases, transactions, etc. You will have to make another choice between persistence implementations i.e. JPA, EJB3.0 JPA Implementation, Hibernate, Spring with Hibernate and MVC and IoC.
so.. long story short, you need to read.

JSF is only one of the Front-End solutions. There are too many to enumerate.
There are differences between they, advantages and disadvantages.
Other Javascript based UI is GWT.
You can have non Javascript based ones: JSP or even just servlet for a "Hello word"
You can use frameworks which will have the MVC pattern embedded: Struts, Spring.
For start learning: I would choose a framework free implementation - to learn what is implemented later in different frameworks. Just a plain JSP pages written manually.
Later on production, bigger J2EE, which will require more team members, higher speed of development, you can choose a framework, which the project needs and most of developers know.

In the last period, I tried to learn something about the Google cloud technology and I quite liked it.
I made a test project for learning GWT bound to GAE, too. In my opinion, the web toolkit is a nice framework for building a Web 2.0 UI from scratch, for those who always worked with Java, but... I think my team is not ready for that, unfortunately.
So, I have to choose another front-end technology, rather than leave my mates writing thousands-code-lines JSP.
What do you recommend to me? Last year I worked a little with Spring MVC and Struts, but since the project we're going to start is a "green field", I'd like to go for a state of art framework.
Remember:
traditional "page" approach (html views, forms, and so on)
must work on Google App Engine

This link lists all the supported frameworks on GAE. After going through that list I'd either go with Spring MVC or Struts 1.
Here is a CRUD tutorial with sprint MVC to get you started.

If you have to go with GAE I would stick with GWT (if your devs are good they should be willing to learn :) ), or maybe a simple framework like apache click. Otherwise developing something other than simple Servlet/JSP is a pain even if it doesn't look so at the beginning of the project.

Try PLAY (http://www.playframework.org/), watch the video and I think you would be sold.
It supports GAE through a plugin (http://www.playframework.org/modules/gae). It states that it supports GAE 1.4 but we are using the 1.5.3 SDK and it works just fine. You can also use the siena plugin which is a hibernate-like layer for the GAE datastore. You can develop locally (and have the same file-backed datastore and in-memory memcache), once you are done, hit "gae:deploy", enter your email and password and you're done.

Let me recommend you using Spring MVC, but using Thymeleaf [http://www.thymeleaf.org] --of which I'm author-- as a view-layer technology instead of JSPs.
This combination will provide you with the traditional approach you require (HTML views, forms...) and at the same time will allow you to use a more elegant approach to prototyping and developing your HTML interface.
Good luck with your projects.

I would try Jello framework. It is a Java Application Framework optimized for Google App Engine including comprehensive Data Authorization model, a powerful RESTful engine, and out-of-the-box UI views.
