Just wondering about creating menus in java, where say you click a button on screen and it takes you to a different JPanel/JFrame ? Like would you just add a the new screen on top of the old one or would you open and close frames each time? I know an alternative would be to use a tabbed pane, just thought this way would look kinda neater.

Anybody know what classes i should be looking up etc. about this or which is the handiest way?

Cheers
Enda

you have your mainframe
and inside that you can have anything else you like
so you could have 2 internal frames,a menu bar and a tool bar
if somebody clicked on a menu bar button to do something
you could remove the current panel from one of the internal frames
and replace it with a different jpanel.
