Java JFrame

The javax.swing.JFrame class is a type of container which inherits the java.awt.Frame class. JFrame works like the main window where components like labels, buttons, textfields are added to create a GUI.

Unlike Frame, JFrame has the option to hide or close the window with the help of setDefaultCloseOperation(int) method.
