Answer 1

If you are doing a standalone Java GUI, you'd use Swing. Here is a tutorial from the Sun web site:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/

The issue with a standalone GUI is that you probably want to load the phone numbers from some central location (so that if someone quits, or someone new joins, or someone changes extensions, you don't have to update the application on everyone's system). If that's the case, you might consider just doing a web-based GUI and putting it on a single machine that everyone can use.

Answer 2

You can start using java swings, this is the basic of the Java GUI,
also u can try the J panels.This is a New concept which is More Secure than Swing ..

Ther are developer tools that helps us to make GUI very Easily.
