In trying to build up my experience with swing I've decided to create a little program to get me more familiar with the basics. I'm creating a program that will display information on a list of medications in a well presented manner (for some pharmacology stuff I'm working on).
My plan is to be able to provide a list of medications which the program then puts into JPanels based on their class and then allows the user to click on them bringing up a new window with information on them.
Now I've created a main class which creates the JFrame and main panels and then a class which fills up the panels with loads of buttons based on the class of medication. But I'm unsure of where to go from here, do I create a new class that extends JFrame and give each jbutton a reference to it so that when I click on the button it brings up a new JFrame, instead of using JButtons should I be using a class that extends JButton?
This is what I've got so far, presentation is still a bit messy at the moment.
