A frame is a top-level window with a title bar and buttons for iconizing, maximizing, and closing the frame.

See also e733 Creating a JFrame.

    // Create frame
    String title = "Frame Title";
    Frame frame = new Frame(title);
    
    // Create a component to add to the frame
    Component comp = new TextArea();
    
    // Add the component to the frame; by default, the frame has a border layout
    frame.add(comp, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    
    // Show the frame
    int width = 300;
    int height = 300;
    frame.setSize(width, height);
    frame.setVisible(true);
