THEN change it to have another JCheckBox for "D", and another JLabel for "D is ON".
Be sure to put them in JFrame, and add another listener inner class for "D" which makes the "D" JLabel visible or
invisible depending on the check box.

/* EXERCISE 9.2 Run the program shown above.
- THEN change it to have another JButton with "Reverse" on the button, which will reverse the StringBuilder and
- put back in the JTextField AND add a JComboBox with "10", "20", and "30" choices for changing the trim size to 10, 20 or 30.
Be sure to put them in the JFrame, change the JButtonHandler method to have another condition for the Reverse button
- and add a new inner class for handling the JComboBox (see example 1 used in Exercise 1).
Hint: Use the parseInt static method in the Integer class to convert from a String to an int.
