I’m new in java, so i guess it’s a simple problem. In my event listener i have a method which declares variables and i’m trying to use those variables in thread which i use in same event. Although it does not work, here is the code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class GUI extends Frame implements WindowListener,ActionListener {
cpWindow window1 = new cpWindow();
cmWindow window2 = new cmWindow();
SolarSystem system = new SolarSystem(300,300);
Planet Planetarium;
/**
* Frame for general window.
*/
public void createFrame0(){
JFrame f0 = new JFrame("Choose what you want to do");
f0.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
f0.addWindowListener(this);
f0.setLayout(new GridLayout(3,1));
JButton cP = new JButton("Create a planet");
JButton cM = new JButton("Create a moon");
JButton Delete = new JButton("Delete a planet or moon");
f0.add(cP);
f0.add(cM);
f0.add(Delete);
cP.addActionListener(this);
cM.addActionListener(this);
Delete.addActionListener(this);
cP.setActionCommand("1");
cM.setActionCommand("2");
Delete.setActionCommand("3");
f0.pack();
f0.setVisible(true);
}

any ideas?
One needs to actually start the Thread, just instantiating a Thread object is not enough.
