You only need to extend something, like JFrame, if you are going to override a method correct?
If I just want to use the methods I would be able to just import them right?

java btw

oh boy.

tldr: no and no

1. "extends" is a keyword that indicates you are "inheriting" the entire template of another class. if you want to use it, you must inherit. you can optionally override behavior.
2. this is an OOP concept, not GUI related.
3. you can't import methods.
4. you can import the class, create an instance of that class, and use the methods of that class if that's all you wanna do. If it's a static method, you don't need to create an instance.
