All right folks help me with my clock

Question

I want to make the following clock able to add time
That is
I have been trying to improve the capability of this program
I want to make 2 textfields, and have a visible clock in the program, that is not a problem, but I want to be able to write a number into one of the two textfields, 15 f.ex and make the program add 15 (in this case minutes) to the existing time. so in case the clock would show 7 PM and I would enter 15 into the textfiled the nr 7:15 PM would appear in the other textfield.
I've been trying my ass of all day, please help me.
Here is the original clock source (all I really need is how to make the clock appear in a textField)
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.Date;
public class Clock extends java.applet.Applet implements Runnable {
private Thread clockThread = null;
public void init() {
setBackground(Color.white);
public void start() {
if (clockThread == null) {
clockThread = new Thread(this, "Clock");
clockThread.start();
public void run() {
     Thread myThread = Thread.currentThread();
while (clockThread == myThread) {
repaint();
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e){ }
public void paint(Graphics g) {
Date now = new Date();
g.drawString(now.getHours() + ":" +
          now.getMinutes() + ":" +
          now.getSeconds(), 5, 10);
public void stop() {
clockThread = null;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.util.Date;
public class Clock extends java.applet.Applet implements Runnable {
private Thread clockThread = null;
public void init() {
setBackground(Color.white);
public void start() {
if (clockThread == null) {
clockThread = new Thread(this, "Clock");
clockThread.start();
public void run() {
     Thread myThread = Thread.currentThread();
while (clockThread == myThread) {
repaint();
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e){ }
public void paint(Graphics g) {
Date now = new Date();
g.drawString(now.getHours() + ":" +
          now.getMinutes() + ":" +
          now.getSeconds(), 5, 10);
public void stop() {
clockThread = null;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.util.Date;
public class Clock extends java.applet.Applet implements Runnable {
private Thread clockThread = null;
public void init() {
setBackground(Color.white);
public void start() {
if (clockThread == null) {
clockThread = new Thread(this, "Clock");
clockThread.start();
public void run() {
     Thread myThread = Thread.currentThread();
while (clockThread == myThread) {
repaint();
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e){ }
public void paint(Graphics g) {
Date now = new Date();
g.drawString(now.getHours() + ":" +
          now.getMinutes() + ":" +
          now.getSeconds(), 5, 10);

Answer 1

I think you pasted your source code three times, but when you compile just one, it creates a working applet that displays the current time, updating every second.
I want to make 2 textfields, and have a visible clock
in the program, that is not a problem, but I want to
be able to write a number into one of the two
textfields, 15 f.ex and make the program add 15 (in
this case minutes) to the existing time. so in case
the clock would show 7 PM and I would enter 15 into
the textfiled the nr 7:15 PM would appear in the other
textfield.I don't see any TextFields in this applet. Are your textfields in the HTML? That would be a big problem -- HTML-to-JavaScript-to-Applet communication is really hard and none too standardized (ie, if it works on your browser, it probably won't work on mine, and vice versa)
If so, my suggestion would be to do it all in Java. Make the clock a Canvas with the Threading and paint code from here (actually, you could just use a Label and have your Thread call setText instead of repainting everything yourself, but whatever, it works). Treat the applet as a container by setting a layout and adding the "ClockCanvas" and some text fields. Put event listeners on the text fields to update the ClockCanvas (eg, when the text field fires a focusLost event, do a getText on the text field, turn the string into an int, and use that to set the time in the ClockCanvas object).
BTW, this question is all about the AWT, which is probably why it didn't get a quick response in the JMF forum. People in the AWT forum might have some even cleaner ideas.
