I am in my final weeks of my first Java Class. I have the next part of my program due over the weekend and I am stuck. The assignment is as follows:

Modify the Inventory Program to use a GUI. The GUI should display the information one product at a time, including the item number, the name of the product, the number of units in stock, the price of each unit, and the value of the inventory of that product. In addition, the GUI should display the value of the entire inventory, the additional attribute, and the restocking fee.

I have my code written and it compiles and opens a window, but I can not figure out how to call the information that needs to be displayed. The information that needs to be displayed is what is gets displayed in a command window using System.out.println. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

However if you looking for more "sophisticated" solution, then you should create a form consisting of labels(JLabel) and text fields (JTetxField) where you would display only one DVD item. Then provide 2 buttons for navigation Next & Previous to move back and forward in your DVD array and provide some buttons to trigger an action of displaying the value of the entire inventory, the additional attribute, and the restocking fee.
