title: How do I create a gui for java that acts like a console
body: <p>I created a text-based game similar to Zork and I need a gui to run it outside of Eclipse. I want to run it as a jar. (by the way I'm on a mac if that changes anything). I only need an output field and an input field. What would be the easiest way to achieve this? 
  And how much of my code would I need to change? (I used System.out.print for output and a Scanner for input)</p>
