How to call a method of a class from another class

Question

Hi,
Can some one explain me this? I want the label from the Label class to be displayed in the JFrame. I understand to do this, I have to call "label" to the ABC() and createAndShowGUI().
I am novice. It will be really helpful if you could explain me what you did.
class Label {
  public Label() {
  public JTextField label;
  label = new JTextField("Hi");
public ABC() {    //Constructor
          Container c = getContentPane();
          c.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
    private static void createAndShowGUI() {
        //Create and set up the window.
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("FrameDemo");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        JLabel emptyLabel = new JLabel("");
        emptyLabel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(600, 400));
        frame.getContentPane().add(emptyLabel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        //Display the window.
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //Schedule a job for the event-dispatching thread:
        //creating and showing this application's GUI.
        javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                createAndShowGUI();
    }Will it be some thing like this?
public ABC() {    //Constructor
          Container c = getContentPane();
          c.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
                Label label = new Label();
                label.add
private static void createAndShowGUI() {
        //Create and set up the window.
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("FrameDemo");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        JLabel emptyLabel = new JLabel("");
        emptyLabel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(600, 400));
        frame.getContentPane().add(emptyLabel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
       frame.add(new Label());
        //Display the window.
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

You know it maybe that it's just too late at night for me, but I see you complete Label class, but I don't see a class definition for ABC; you have a constructor for it, but not a class definition for it.
In any case, when you define a class, you use it in the same way any other class is used...
MyClass myObjectRef = new MyClass();
