I am creating a Swing based application , which actually consist of two buttons as shown below -
now what i want is when first button is clicked it must perform a action like showing a panel containing label, textfields , and some buttons in the same frame as shown below -
and when second button is clicked it will show another panel in the same frame as shown below ..
the thing is i am not understanding how to make this interface in action by providing event handler and action listener .. So please letme me know how can i archive this . Any help would be appreciated .. Thanks

There are 2 approaches.
CardLayout
based.
Create all the panels (empty, panel with fields, panel with list) and add them in a container with CardLayout
(the empty one is default). On click buttons swap visible cards (panels) showing necessary one.
Recreation based.
On click button create a new panel with new content. Remove the old one from container and add the newly created pane. After then call:
container.revalidate();
container.repaint();
