Is there a website where I can paste a line of job code into a box and get a response back for what the code means? For example if I wanted to know what this meant "SampleAction(String text, Icon icon)" Thank you.

SampleAction is the name of a method and it has two parameters: a String and an Icon. Any basic Java textbook or tutorial should have provided you this information.
Note: the method should be called sampleAction.

Re: A general question about online help
I'm not aware of a website that does what you've asked. However, Google (or your favorite search engine) would be the next best thing. The type of information you need to know is contained in the program's API. Oracle is the keeper of Java's API, so if you want to know about System.out.println(), you'd Google "java system," and the top 5 to 10 results will be either links to Oracle's API pages, API pages maintained by the class' owner or 3rd parties, or tutorials that cover the use of Java's System class. If you need help reading API pages, you should ask questions, but practice is the best way to acquire that skill.
SampleAction() could also be a constructor for the class SampleAction, but I suggest starting off your searches broad, narrowing as needed to get the right results. I'd start with the search "java sampleaction" and go from there.`
