There is a (small) family of components whose purpose in life is to display text, and also to accept changes to that text.  

The two most commonly used members of the family are:

• JTextField

and

• JTextArea

both of which extend the abstract class JTextComponent.

There are also some other text input components that we'll cover, and a number of more complex ones that we won't cover.
