password if condition

hi all.
I am new to java and i want to make a message text box asking for the pass word. if the password is correct then messagebox title and text = welcome else = access denied

this is what i have put together myself but it doesn't work..

Code:

---

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class Password
{
        public static void main(String args[])
        {
                String name =
                        JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Password?");
                if:
        {
                raw_input = "hello";               
                                String message =
                        String.format("Welcome");
               
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog("Welcome");
        }
                else:
        {
                String message =
                        String.format("Access Denied");

                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog("Access Denied")
               
        }

        }
}

Perhaps you should find out how if and else really work. I recommend a tutorial or beginner's book.

Just like CornedBee said, you won't learn much by only asking questions. Learning from a book is the best way
