Search LinkedList and display to JtextArea

Question

The user will type in a first name and hit the "go" button. If the name is in the list it should say the person's name is in the list in the JTextArea, if not it should say the person's name is not in the list in the JTextArea. I have the basic layout, but am lost on how to get what the user typed in the JTextField and the button click and display to textarea to all play together.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.util.List;
import javax.swing.*;
public class FirstName extends JFrame {
     private static final String names[] = { "Joe", "Mark", "David", "Bryan","Amber","Abigail","Skyler","Melanie" };
     private javax.swing.JButton jButton1;
     private javax.swing.JTextArea jTextArea1;
     private javax.swing.JPanel jPanel1;
     private javax.swing.JTextField jTextField1;
     private java.awt.Label label1;
     public FirstName() {
          initComponents();
          List link = new LinkedList(Arrays.asList(names));     
          setSize( 400, 200 );
          show();
     private void initComponents() {
          jPanel1 = new JPanel();
         label1 = new Label();
          jTextField1 = new javax.swing.JTextField();
          jButton1 = new javax.swing.JButton();
          jTextArea1 = new javax.swing.JTextArea();
          label1.setText("Enter a Name to Search:");
          jPanel1.add(label1);
          jTextField1.setColumns(20);
          jPanel1.add(jTextField1);
          jButton1.setText("Go");
          jButton1.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
               public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent evt) {
                    MouseClicked(evt);
          jPanel1.add(jButton1);
          jTextArea1.setColumns(30);
          jTextArea1.setRows(5);
          jPanel1.add(jTextArea1);
          getContentPane().add(jPanel1, BorderLayout.CENTER);
     private void MouseClicked(MouseEvent evt) {
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          FirstName application = new FirstName();
          application.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}
