            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
                    jtf.setText(ae.getActionCommand());
     
                    }
            }

    When I run my program it only displays the 5 buttons and the text field. I've checked many times making sure the image name in the program matches with the one on my desktop. What am I doing wrong?

    Indicate where in your code you add the label to the GUI.

    ^^

    Same as Junky.

    You created the JLabel, but forgot to add it to your ButtonDemo/JPanel
