Socket Listener - I almost have it

I've been fighting with this and my own poor coding skills apparently.
I'm trying to create a small desktop app that will act essentially as a "Socket Listener" where I can display any information sent to the localhost IP and any port I designate. I have the program working without a UI, but I wanted to make it an actual desktop app (part of my learning journey).
I've searched around and borrowed some ideas from others and almost have it working.
When I launch the app, enter a port number and then try to connect to it using PUTTY I don't see anything displaying in my JTextArea. What should appear is a "Waiting for client" message and then when connected a "Client connected" message, then, of course, any text I type into PUTTY.
If I try connecting using PUTTY, type some text, then exit putty, all of that text and the messages above will appear in the JTextArea (JTextArea is at the bottom of the code).
What on earth am I doing wrong here?

UPDATED
Thank you so much for the input. I've incorporated your changes and it is so unbelievably close.
One question. When I run the current code (below), Why doesn't the JTextArea show the "Waiting for client..." message right away? It shows up once PUTTY connects, but not before.

You have a ServerSocket blocking to read the client connection on the Event Dispatch Thread. Spawn a new thread when you accept a connection. Something like,
btnListen.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
int portNum = Integer.parseInt(portInput.getText());
try {
ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(portNum, sessionNum, InetAddress.getByName(IPNum));
System.out.println("Waiting for client.........");
final Socket s = ss.accept();// establishes connection
Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
System.out.println("Client connected.........");
var rawIn = s.getInputStream();
var in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(rawIn, StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
{
while (true) { // Don't do this on the EDT.
String cmd = in.readLine();
if (cmd == null)
break; // client is hung up
if (cmd.isEmpty())
continue; // empty line was sent
System.out.println("Client sent: " + cmd);
}
System.out.println("Closing connection");
s.close();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
t.start();
} catch (IOException i) {
System.out.println(i);
}
}
});

is the method to create simple login wrong

I am a newbie in Java GUI development and I am stuck in the following code.
I am open to suggestions. I am actually trying to create a simple login that gives OK if the password is matched to the number 3124, and otherwise shows the error message. Please help me.
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import javax.swing.JTextField;

try {
testing window = new testing();
window.frame.setVisible(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
/**
* Create the application.
*/
public testing() {
initialize();
}
/**
* Initialize the contents of the frame.
*/
private void initialize() {
frame = new JFrame();
frame.setBounds(100, 100, 450, 300);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.getContentPane().setLayout(null);
JButton btnNewButton_1 = new JButton("cancel");
btnNewButton_1.setBounds(266, 181, 109, 56);
frame.getContentPane().add(btnNewButton_1);
username = new JTextField();
username.setBounds(227, 11, 128, 39);
frame.getContentPane().add(username);
username.setColumns(10);
password = new JTextField();
password.setBounds(227, 76, 128, 39);
frame.getContentPane().add(password);
final int num;
num=Integer.parseInt(password);
password.setColumns(10);
JButton btnNewButton = new JButton("login");
btnNewButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if(num==3124)
{JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "correct");}
else
{JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "wrong");}
}
});
btnNewButton.setBounds(62, 181, 123, 56);
frame.getContentPane().add(btnNewButton);
}
}

You were checking the password even before the user has had the chance to enter anything into the text box. You need to get and check the value of num in the event listener code i.e. in actionPerformed. Also, don't convert the password to int (someone may enter some non-numeric string).
This code below works better.

Cannot create JAR file-Main method not found

I am using a tool called JARBuilder as Eclipse was of no help in creating JAR files.
When I try to create the JAR, it says that main method could be found, despite the fact that the main method is clearly defined.

Eclipse Jasper report in Java Swing Application

Good Day, I have created a Java GUI with Eclipse(Java JDK 1.8.0_31 & Eclipse 4.4.1). So then I have installed Jasper report v6 in my same project and created jasper report inside my project.
It is generating report and opening Jasper Viewer window.
See the code below;

frame.getContentPane().add(lblUserName);
JLabel lblPassword = new JLabel("Password");
lblPassword.setBounds(38, 125, 56, 20);
frame.getContentPane().add(lblPassword);
}
}
The questions are:
Is there any way to view this report inside my form object?.
How can I compile this to one file to work in cross platform? I tried to export it to .Jar(Executable Jar) file. But it doesn't include report.jrxml. It is not secure to keep jrxml file outside because it's user readable. How can I compile the project more secure?
What are the exact Jasper Library jar files to add in the project? I have added all jars in jasperreports-6.0.0\dist and jasperreports-6.0.0\lib. When I export it to Executable Jar, file size will be more than 50MB.
If anyone has alternate solution like BIRT Reports, Kindly answer these questions instead of Jasper Reports.
