return array of strings

[the gullers]

I am trying to return an array of strings (basicaly the contents of the
textfield) to the main class... when i put this piece of code it tells me
that i need to declare the array of strings final but if i do then they
don't change in the action listener. any suggestions on how to make this
work?
public String[] drawLoginPopUp( )
{

//Description: This method draws the pop up window for entering the
userName and password with 'OK' and 'Cancel' buttons.

String value[] = new String [2];
Container contentPane = getContentPane( );

JPanel LoginPanel = new JPanel();
LoginPanel.setL ayout(new GridLayout(2,2) );

JLabel LoginLabel = new JLabel(" Login: ");
JTextField LoginText = new JTextField("", 10);
JLabel PasswordLabel = new JLabel (" Password: ");
JPasswordField PasswordText = new JPasswordField( "", 10);

LoginPanel.add( LoginLabel);
LoginPanel.add( LoginText);
LoginPanel.add( PasswordLabel);
LoginPanel.add( PasswordText);

contentPane.add (LoginPanel, BorderLayout.CE NTER);
/********** SOUTH PANE BUTTONS *********/
JPanel buttonPanel = new JPanel();

JButton okButton = new JButton("OK");
JButton cancelButton = new JButton("Cancel ");

okButton.addAct ionListener(
new ActionListener( ){
public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e)
{
value[0] = LoginText.getTe xt();
value[1] = PasswordText.ge tText();;
///// return the value array to application
}});

cancelButton.ad dActionListener (
new ActionListener( ){
public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e)
{
System.out.prin tln("cancel boton");
System.exit(0);

}
});
buttonPanel.add (okButton);
buttonPanel.add (cancelButton);

contentPane.add (buttonPanel, BorderLayout.SO UTH);
pack();
return value;

}
