Ok, I've written command line code that way, but surely you don't
begin a desktop GUI project with nothing but an empty Main class. What
do you start with? Is there a standardized prototype? Thanks.

  You might have a look at the Notepad demo (with source code) in

..../Java/jdk.../demo/jfc/Notepad

  (where your JDK was installed). This is copyrighted source code,
  but still might give you an idea how to write a simple GUI program.

  However, when you look at the different programs in the
  directory demo/jfc, a common GUI template project would
  include what these programs have in common. But what do they
  have in common? They might not have that much in common.
  It might help to read a textbook about Swing, like Oracle's
  Swing tutorial.
