I am trying to change the text in a textField when a button is pressed but
keep getting a variety of errors.  What do I need to do. TIA.

    if (jTextField1 = " ")
    jTextField1.setText("Add Text");  // incompatible types

    if (jTextField1.getText() = "")
    jTextField1.setText("Add Text");  // variable required but found

Just setting the buttonClick event to the setText method without using an if
statement works but I am trying to change the text depending upon the value
in the jTextField1 when the button is clicked.
