Java: Example - CombineName

// File   : gui/components/calculators/CombineName.java
// Description: Takes a first and last name to produce "Last, First"
// Purpose: This program does almost nothing but show GUI construction.
//          The "model/logic" of the program is intentionally trivial.
//          It illustrates: subclassing and constructing a JFrame,
//          the use of JTextFields, JButton, inner action listener.
