Well i can't give you a full advice on how to work with your files, but as for the 2 vertical frame, i would rather use one frame. I would create a panel in it. To this panel i would give a GridLayout(1,2) (1 row, 2 columns ) and then add two more panels ( internal panels if your prefer ).

Something like this:

Java

public yourClass extends JFrame{


    JFrame myFrame=new JFrame();
    JPanel panelInFrame=new JPanel(new GridLayout(1,2));
    JPanel internalLeftPanel=new JPanel();
    Jpanel internalRightPanel=new JPanel();

    public void initializeWindow(){

            /**
             * initialize your window( setSize, setVisible etc.)
             * then...
            */

    window.add(panelInFrame);

    addInternalPanels();

        }

    void addInternalPanels(){

       panelInFrame.add(internalLeftPane);
       panelInFrame.add(internalRightPane);

       //here you could manipulate your labels, buttons etc.

    }


    public static void main(String[] args){

       yourClass program=new yourClass();
       program.initializeWindow();

    }


 }

I hope you understand.
