Do you have source code?
If you are not sure, what are the extensions on the files you have?

Yup I have the source codes. The extensions are .java
I compiled these source code using command prompt in windows OS as:

 javac filename1.java
 javac filename2.java
 ..so on

then i run the java file with main as:

java filenamex

In a way i did run the java gui using command prompt. I could also create a jar file using manifest in command prompt.
Maybe you thought i had a jar file and i want to import that jar file into netbeans project.
So to be clear, I have the source codes.

You should be able to open and edit the .java files in any IDE or text editor in the same way you would open any other text file on your machine.
What are you having problems with? Be specific, as I do not yet understand where you are stuck.

I still don't understand where you are stuck. What have you done so far?
Have you started an ide or editor and opened the source files to see the code?
What do you see? What do you want to change?
