Code Review Asked by ashwin2125 on October 27, 2021
I developed a college fee report generator application using Java with internet as referance,but now I need you guys help in making it more obvious and a sturdy application as I am a rookie to Java Swing.

In addition to the valuable technical hints given by @Reinderien, I'd like to comment on your code structure.
You are doing everything within one class (even inside the constructor of that class):
new JLabel(), setBounds(), add() and so on)addActionListener())print(), setText() etc.)I'd typically expect an application like yours to be split into at least two major parts:
The business logic, consisting of classes corresponding to the real-world concepts you're working with, e.g. Student, Group, Course, Year. There shouldn't be any user interface elements in there (nothing coming from javax.swing, java.awt, System.out etc.). There you should find the fields that describe a student, a group etc. as well as the actions necessary (e.g. in a class Group a method like add(Student student), modifying the Group's fields to now contain one more Student).
The user interface, consisting of everything you need to show the user the current state of the application, and to get his commands. Execute them by just calling the business logic.
If you organize your code that way, you gain some benefits:
Group business class. There's no need to skip over the Swing code where get JLabel contents and add text to other JLabels. The same is true for the UI classes. They just define how to interact with the user, e.g. when a user presses this or that button, you want to add a student to a group, no matter how that works internally. That's responsibility of the business logic.Answered by Ralf Kleberhoff on October 27, 2021
This:
l1.setBounds(550, 100, 250, 20);
and lines like it are non-ideal. Absolute positioning will fail to scale the controls and their positions according to different window sizes. Re-think your approach after reading about layouts. Instead of setting bounds, you should specify layouts and border widths, etc.
There is no reason to store these:
JLabel l1, l2, l3, l4,
l5, l6, l7, l8,
l9, l10, l12, l13,
l14, l11, l15;
as members on the class. They should just be declared at the function level. When they go out of scope they will not disappear; the Frame will keep a reference to them but you do not have to.
Particularly for important variables like f1 - but probably all of the others, too - you're going to want to give that a more meaningful name, such as fileChooser.
addRather than issuing your adds all in one lump, I think it would be more legible to rearrange these such that they occur directly after the declaration of their respective control, i.e.
l1 = new JLabel("Fee Report");
l1.setBounds(550, 100, 250, 20);
add(l1);
Given the length of your action listener methods, you should move the body of those methods to methods on your class rather than on the anonymous ActionListener object you make.
