When I have a question like this, the first thing I’ll do is hit Google. Doing a search for “java joptionpane” returns a ton or results, including this one:
[https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/dialog.html](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/dialog.html)
That page lists various functions for displaying dialogs and getting input.
