    Default JTextField with JButtons

    How do you append to a JTextField with a JButton without the previous text being deleted

    for example if i had
    JButton num0 = new JButton("0")
    JButton num1 = new JButton("1")
    JTextField text = new JTextField()
    text.setEditable(false)

    num0.addActionListener(this)
    num1.addActionListener(this)
    text.addActionListener(this)

    public void actionPerfomed(ActionEvent e){
    Object source = e.getSource()

    if(source == num0)
    text.setText("0")

    if(source == num1)
    text.setText("1")

    }

    i would like the textfield to say if 0 then 1 is pressed - 01
    but instead it will do 0 then when 1 is pressed 0 is erased and 1 is in the textfield
    any help would be appreciated

    Hint: JTextField has a method called getText() that you can use to get the String already displayed.
