    private int limit;

    public JTextFieldCharLimit(int limit)

        } else if((getLength() + str.length()) <= limit)
        {

I am using this class in another class where I have declared my textbox like this:

void playerInfoScreen(JFrame mainFrame, JPanel menuPanel)
    {
        final ScreenConstructor playerName = new ScreenConstructor();
        final JFrame frame = mainFrame;
        final JPanel returnPanel = menuPanel;

        final JPanel panel = playerName.createPanel("menu panel");

        final JButton returnButton = playerName.createButton("MAIN MENU");
        final JTextField textEntry = playerName.createTextField(10);
                // text field length needs to be set to prevent long texts
        final JLabel label = playerName.createLabel("Enter Player Name:");

        playerName.addButtonToPanel(panel, returnButton);
        playerName.addLabelToPanel(panel, label);
        playerName.addJTextFieldToPanel(panel, textEntry);

        textEntry.setDocument(new JTextFieldCharLimit(5));
        playerName.displayScreen(frame, panel);
            // check for esc button to let user return back to main menu




        textEntry.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
        {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
            {
                String player = textEntry.getText(); // save entered player name
                storedPlayerName = player; // store player in order to use it in highscores and display on game screen
                GameScreen game = new GameScreen(frame, panel); // go to game screen 
            }
        });


        returnButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
        {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
            {
                frame.setContentPane(returnPanel); // go back to previous panel
            }
        });




    }
