Thread: help building up GUI for poker game

hi, im new to the forums and to programing itself, and im trying to build up a simple swing/awt GUI for my bluej project wich simulates a 5 card poker game.
thanks for the help

basicaly i would like to import cards to make the gui more nice, and make sume buttons to the array that chooses the cards u want to change.

thanks for the help
here is my code
