Simplistic Java UI

I've programmed in Java before but only in creating plugins for game servers and stuff like that, so I don't really know the first thing about creating user interfaces. Here is something I'm going to try and recreate for education purposes: http://puu.sh/6kWgA.png

Can someone explain to me how basically ui's work and how can I proceed to achieving this goal. I've tried reading a few of the documentation pages but they're just no good for me, if someone could send me different written tutorials or videos which explain how I can create windows without the frame I would most appreciate it!

I need to know how to add things like drop-down menus, buttons, labels, tool-tips etc...

Thank you!

Usually GUIs are done with the Java Swing API. A good starting point is this tutorial: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/.

Of course there are many other GUI frameworks available. For a good overview see this question.
