Java Console to GUI

I have a question answering (QA) system which is console application based on openephyra but i need to develop it into gui application as openephyra runs on console application.

Is it possible I redirect them to GUI? If 开发者_如何转开发yes, how should I develop?

It might contain two textareas for the user to enter the question and display the answer, when user clicks the go button.

http://www.ephyra.info/ appears to have alot of tutorials regarding this. Might be worth starting there and working through some of them.
