You should bind your model to both of the views (JTextFields) instead of copying Text from one to another.

Read http://www.martinfowler.com/eaaDev/OrganizingPresentations.html for more information.

Use textField.getText to get the text from a textfield and anotherTextField.setText to set the text of the other textfield.

If your JFrames are in two different classes you may have to expose methods in those classes to get and set the text between them.

  1. Don't use a GUI Editor, especially if you are just learning Swing.
  2. You need a reference saved somewhere to both fields so that you getText() of the first JTextField and setText() on the second field.
