Since you're going to use Java, next choose your UI toolkit and learn the concept of UI programming for that toolkit. For example, in wxWidgets, a window as many people know it is called a Frame. Within a frame, there could be many widgets (small elements which make up the window), eg. control widget, presentation widget, etc. For GTK, it's a bit different especially on event handling.
