Sorry for unclear question. Here I want to pick the search pattern(e.g. filenames) entered by user in text box from an application in java. On_click() invokes my script which should take the search pattern(e.g. filenames) as input in my Find command eg: find . -type f -name '.sql' -a ! -name '.txt' . Please let me know if it is still not clear.

It seems like you have two questions — (1) How do I get user input from a text box in a form from an application in Java, and (2) something about finding files — and you're stuck on question #1. Well, they're both still too vague for Stack Exchange, and #1 is off-topic here. You should try to research these questions on your own (i.e., by searching the web, and not asking questions). If you're still stuck, you can try taking your researched and clarified version of question #1 to Stack Overflow, and then edit this question to focus on question #2, showing what you've learned, and asking a clear question.
