Design and code a Swing GUI for a two-player tic-tac-toe (O and X) game on a 3 b

Question

Design and code a Swing GUI for a two-player tic-tac-toe (O and X) game on a 3 by 3 game board. The JFrame should use a BorderLayout with a JLabel in the NORTH region to display messages (e.g. who won the game), and a JPanel in the CENTER region to display the game board. For the game board in the JPanel, use a GridLayout manager with a 3 by 3 layout of JButtons in each cell to display the game board. The button labels should initially be blank. When a player clicks on an empty button an appropriate "X" or "O" should be placed in the label field of the button. If there is a winner (three in a row) then the program should display the winner in the JLabel located at the top of the window. If all nine cells have been filled without a winner, the program should indicate that there was a tie.
