        frmInformacijaApieMuzikos.setIconImage(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(KDVizualizuotas.class.getResource("/lt/kvk/i3_2/kalasnikovas_stanislovas/resources/Sidebar-Music-Blue-icon.png")));
        frmInformacijaApieMuzikos.setTitle("Muzikos stiliai");
        frmInformacijaApieMuzikos.setBounds(100, 100, 262, 368);
        frmInformacijaApieMuzikos.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        txtStilius = new JTextField();
        txtStilius.setBounds(10, 34, 128, 20);
        txtStilius.setColumns(10);

        JButton btnIekoti = new JButton("Ie\u0161koti");

        JLabel lblveskiteMuzikosStili = new JLabel("\u012Eveskite muzikos stili\u0173:");
        lblveskiteMuzikosStili.setBounds(10, 14, 222, 14);
        frmInformacijaApieMuzikos.getContentPane().setLayout(null);
        panel.setLayout(null);

        JScrollBar scrollBar = new JScrollBar();

        JLabel lblInformacijaApieMuzikos = new JLabel("Informacija apie muzikos stili\u0173:");
        lblInformacijaApieMuzikos.setBounds(12, 3, 190, 14);
        panel.add(lblInformacijaApieMuzikos);
        frmInformacijaApieMuzikos.getContentPane().add(txtStilius);
        frmInformacijaApieMuzikos.getContentPane().add(btnIekoti);
        frmInformacijaApieMuzikos.getContentPane().add(lblveskiteMuzikosStili);

        JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
        frmInformacijaApieMuzikos.setJMenuBar(menuBar);

        JMenu mnFile = new JMenu("File");
        menuBar.add(mnFile);

        JMenuItem mntmExit = new JMenuItem("Exit");
        mntmExit.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
                System.exit(0);             
            }

        });
        mntmExit.setIcon(new ImageIcon(KDVizualizuotas.class.getResource("/lt/kvk/i3_2/kalasnikovas_stanislovas/resources/exitas.png")));
        mnFile.add(mntmExit);

        JMenu mnEdit = new JMenu("Edit");
        menuBar.add(mnEdit);

        JMenu mnHelp = new JMenu("Help");
        menuBar.add(mnHelp);

        JMenuItem mntmHelp = new JMenuItem("Help");
        mnHelp.add(mntmHelp);

        JMenu mnAbout = new JMenu("About");
        menuBar.add(mnAbout);

        JMenuItem mntmAbout = new JMenuItem("About");
        mntmAbout.setIcon(new ImageIcon(KDVizualizuotas.class.getResource("/lt/kvk/i3_2/kalasnikovas_stanislovas/resources/questionmark.png")));
        mnAbout.add(mntmAbout);
    }
}

And this is useful block of my code I think.:

private void initialize() {
frmInformacijaApieMuzikos = new JFrame();
frmInformacijaApieMuzikos.setResizable(false);
frmInformacijaApieMuzikos.setIconImage(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(KDVizualizuotas.class.getResource("/lt/kvk/i3_2/kalasnikovas_stanislovas/resources/Sidebar-Music-Blue-icon.png")));
frmInformacijaApieMuzikos.setTitle("Muzikos stiliai");
frmInformacijaApieMuzikos.setBounds(100, 100, 262, 368);
frmInformacijaApieMuzikos.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

txtStilius = new JTextField();
txtStilius.setBounds(10, 34, 128, 20);
txtStilius.setColumns(10);

JButton btnIekoti = new JButton("Ie\u0161koti");
btnIekoti.setBounds(146, 36, 89, 19);
btnIekoti.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {

    }
});

Answer 1

In your Button action add this line :

jTextArea1.append(txtStilius.getText()+"\n");

where jTextArea1 is the place where you want to see printed text which you enter to JTextField
