Is there a way to "grab" the text from a JTextField with a JButton instead of having to use the enter key on the keyboard? Such as an over-loaded JTextField class/method? Thank you!

Can you explain what "grab the text" means? Where do you want the String held in the JTextField to go?

Sure; I just want the JTextField content to be copied to an existing string variable but when the user presses a 'calculate' button on the JPanel instead of the user needing to press the keyboard's enter key to do this.

Add a listener to the button and have the listener's method copy the String from the JTextField.
