Thread: First real program help

First i'll say this: this code is probably the most innefficiant way of doing it, because I have been using the knowledge I've learned from about 16 total video tutorials and answers of other peoples questions on many different websites. I have tried to add comments wherever I can to show what I'm doing but in the last part even I don't know whats happening. The program is supposed to be a very basic window with 2 text fields to take imputs and add them together, but it has turned out to be more than I can handle. the main problem(and I think the only one) is that I need some of the objects to be final but I also need to change them.
Here's the code:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
 
public class Stuff {
 
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
			//Make all of the objects.
			JLabel enterFirst = new JLabel("First Number:");
			JLabel enterSecond = new JLabel("+  Second Number");
			JTextField firstNum = new JTextField("Enter a number");
			JTextField secondNum = new JTextField("Enter a number");
			JButton add = new JButton("Add");
			JTextField sumField = new JTextField("Sum");
			//set dimensions for them if you don't want to do them by hand.
			Dimension size1 = enterFirst.getPreferredSize();
			Dimension size2 = enterSecond.getPreferredSize();
			Dimension size3 = firstNum.getPreferredSize();
			Dimension size4 = secondNum.getPreferredSize();
			Dimension size5 = add.getPreferredSize();
			Dimension size6 = sumField.getPreferredSize();
			//Make a JFrame.
			JFrame x = new JFrame();
			x.setLayout(null);
			x.setVisible(true);
			x.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
			x.setSize(600,350);
			x.setTitle("Calculator");
			x.setBackground(Color.GRAY);
			//Add the objects.
			x.add(enterFirst);
			x.add(firstNum);
			x.add(enterSecond);
			x.add(secondNum);
			x.add(add);
			x.add(sumField);
			//Set the objects positions.
			enterFirst.setBounds(100, 20, size1.width, size1.height);
			enterSecond.setBounds(300, 20, size2.width, size2.height);
			firstNum.setBounds(200, 20, size3.width, size3.height);
			secondNum.setBounds(420, 20, size4.width, size4.height);
			add.setBounds(250, 45, size5.width, size5.height);
			sumField.setBounds(320, 45, size6.width, size6.height);
			//Set the sumField to be uneditable.
			sumField.setEditable(false);
			//Add the ActionListener.
			ActionListener action1 = new ActionListener() {
				public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
					if (e.getSource() == add) {
						String sumNum = new String("");
						int sum = Integer.valueOf(firstNum.getText()) + Integer.valueOf(secondNum.getText());
						sumNum = Integer.toString(sum);
						sumField.setText(sumNum);
					}
 
				}
			};
			}
 
	}

the only problem that eclipse is having with it right now is that add, firstNum and secondNum need to be final to be called on in the last part, but they also need to change.
the errors:"Cannot refer to non final variable add inside an inner class defined in a different method."
"Cannot refer to non final variable firstNum inside an inner class defined in a different method."
"Cannot refer to non final variable secondNum inside an inner class defined in a different method."

PS: If this is completely wrong, which it might be, just tell me, I just want to know how to fix it, if I can.
EDIT: In the probable case that I am doing this completely wrong, I would appreciate any links you might have that could help melearn this stuff better. Although I have dug through google looking for answers to may problems, I fell that an actuall tutorial on the stuff I need would be more useful.

sorry, I fixed it.
EDIT:I've been thinking about the last part with the actionlistener, and I've revised it a bit, but it still doesn't work:

ActionListener action1 = new ActionListener() {
				public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
					Boolean addStart = true;
 
				}
			};
			if(addStart == true){
				String sumNum = new String("");
				int sum = Integer.valueOf(firstNum.getText()) + Integer.valueOf(secondNum.getText());
				sumNum = Integer.toString(sum);
				sumField.setText(sumNum);
			}

The only problem I can see with this is that
a) I can't use the boolian variable anyway because it says:"addStart cannot be resolved to a variable."
and
b)Even if it did work, The program would have to restart each time you want to add numbers.
EDITx2: I have trimmed out the button, there are no error messages on eclipse anymore. The only problem is that it still doesn't work. I think the proble might be that sumField is not updateing, but I know basically nothing about java, so I'll just post the code:

 
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
 
public class Stuff {
 
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
			//Make all of the objects.
			JLabel enterFirst = new JLabel("First Number:");
			JLabel enterSecond = new JLabel("+  Second Number");
			JTextField firstNum = new JTextField("0", 5);
			JTextField secondNum = new JTextField("0", 5);
			JTextField sumField = new JTextField("0", 10);
			//set dimensions for them if you don't want to do them by hand.
			Dimension size1 = enterFirst.getPreferredSize();
			Dimension size2 = enterSecond.getPreferredSize();
			Dimension size3 = firstNum.getPreferredSize();
			Dimension size4 = secondNum.getPreferredSize();
			Dimension size6 = sumField.getPreferredSize();
			//Make a JFrame.
			JFrame x = new JFrame();
			x.setLayout(null);
			x.setVisible(true);
			x.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
			x.setSize(600,350);
			x.setTitle("Calculator");
			x.setBackground(Color.GRAY);
			//Add the objects.
			x.add(enterFirst);
			x.add(firstNum);
			x.add(enterSecond);
			x.add(secondNum);
			x.add(sumField);
			//Set the objects positions.
			enterFirst.setBounds(100, 20, size1.width, size1.height);
			enterSecond.setBounds(300, 20, size2.width, size2.height);
			firstNum.setBounds(200, 20, size3.width, size3.height);
			secondNum.setBounds(420, 20, size4.width, size4.height);
			sumField.setBounds(320, 45, size6.width, size6.height);
			//Set the sumField to be uneditable.
			sumField.setEditable(false);
			String sumNum = new String("");
			int sum = Integer.valueOf(firstNum.getText()) + Integer.valueOf(secondNum.getText());
			sumNum = Integer.toString(sum);
			sumField.setText(sumNum);
			}
