Java Multiple Input Dialog

I have a Java application and I want to open a new dialog from the main interface where the user can enter his name, surname and country and then click ok. How can I open a dialog which has a number of different input fields and then save that information in a variable?

With java and swing you have to write some code. I build a library which creates a dialog with different inputs in a few lines. It's called UiBooster.

FilledForm form = new UiBooster()
        .createForm("Personal informations")
        .addText("Whats your first name?")
        .addTextArea("Tell me something about you")
        .addSelection(
                "Whats your favorite movie?",
                Arrays.asList("Pulp Fiction", "Bambi", "The Godfather", "Hangover"))
        .show();

enter image description here

Extend JDialog and add some JTextFields and maybe some JComboBoxes. then finish it off with some JButtons.

You could also look into JGoodies Forms framework; it's nice and free.

EDIT: Composition example

Based on Pete's comment I dug up this example using composition rather than overriding JDialog.

You would want to add getter like

public String getFirstName() {
      return field.getTest();
}

To gain access to relevant input.

This forum post could be helpful.

One possibility to make a custom JDialog is to create a custom JPanel with all the bells and whistles that you need and use that as the Component in one of the static JOptionPane functions.
