package gui.eventhandler;  import java.awt.event.actionevent; import java.awt.event.actionlistener; import javax.swing.jbutton; import javax.swing.jframe; import javax.swing.jlabel; import javax.swing.joptionpane;   import javax.swing.jpanel; import javax.swing.jtextfield;  public class eventhandlerexample2_nameconfirmation {  private jframe frame; private jpanel panel; private jbutton button1; private jlabel label; private jtextfield fname;  public eventhandlerexample2_nameconfirmation() {      frame = new jframe("log in");     panel = new jpanel();     label = new jlabel("first name: ");     fname = new jtextfield(20);      // actions when ok button clicked     // implementing actionlistener anonymous inner class     button1 = new jbutton("submit");     button1.addactionlistener(new actionlistener() {         @override         public void actionperformed(actionevent e) {              string inputname = fname.gettext();              if (inputname == "joe") {                 joptionpane.showmessagedialog(null, "verified user " + inputname);             } else {                 //selects option regardless of entry                 joptionpane.showmessagedialog(null, "invalid user " + inputname);             }          }     });      panel.add(label); // add label     panel.add(fname); // textfield     panel.add(button1); // , button panel      frame.add(panel); // add panel onto frame     frame.setvisible(true); // default invisible     frame.setsize(600, 70); // 600 width 70 height     frame.setlocation(350, 350); // center screen     frame.setdefaultcloseoperation(jframe.exit_on_close); // exit when closed  }  public static void main(string[] args) {     eventhandlerexample2_nameconfirmation app = new eventhandlerexample2_nameconfirmation(); }  } 

use string.equals compare strings operator == checks if references string equal
