App does not start when it should

Troubleshooting gui
1

Hello community,

I want to use a GUI I programmed with java to open a class with jme-elements.
The jme-class (HelloZebra) simply should open the app without showing the settings, so

[java]app.setShowSettings (false);[/java] is given.

If I compile this class and start it, it works and shows me my models.

Now I programmed a normal GUI-class with buttons and so on, and I gave these buttons ActionListeners.

[java]zebrabutton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {

		public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
			HelloZebra showzebra = new HelloZebra();
		}
	});[/java]

If I start it now, it shows me my GUI with the buttons and so on, but when I click on zebrabutton, nothing happens.
Why? I need help!

Maybe because you do stuff in main() instead of the constructor of your class? Hard to say without any code. I also would not start the application on the AWT thread if I were you.
