i have made a function called showFrame and i call it from another class and it isnt working :
the problem is on line marked as *** where i call to showFrame()
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.util.Date;
public class colorsMain {
    static daromConnect myCon = new daromConnect();
    static long pNextTime = 1000;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            myMsg.write("ss");
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();  //To change body of catch statement use Options | File Templates.
        new Thread(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                while (true) {
                    try {
                        Thread.sleep(pNextTime);
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                        System.out.println("Error :" + e.getLocalizedMessage() + " at : " + new Date());
                    System.out.println("10 seconds");
                    myCon.showFrame();///****problem on this line
                                        pNextTime = 1000 * 60 * 5;
                    //   System.exit(0);
        System.exit(0);
CODE]
and the second class with showFrame :import JavaCom.atidProgram;
import JavaCom.atidProgramsGroup;
import JavaCom.atidRecordSet;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.Date;
import java.lang.*;
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.lang.String;
import java.awt.*;
import java.text.*;
public class daromConnect {
private static boolean pIsWorking = false;
private static int pTimeFromDarom = 30;
private static JFrame jf = null;
private static JLabel label2 = null;
public static void SetTotalTimeFromDarom(int tm) {
pTimeFromDarom = tm;
public static boolean getIsWorking() {
return pIsWorking;
private static void setIsWorking(boolean flag) {
pIsWorking = flag;
private static int getIndex(String str, final String[][] unit_table) {
for (int i = 0; i < unit_table[0].length; ++i) {
if (unit_table[0].equals(str) == true || unit_table[1][i].equals(str)==true)
return i;
return 0;
public static void showFrame() {//this is the function i call
jf = new JFrame();
label2 = new JLabel("000");
label2.setSize(30, 300);
label2.setFont(Font.decode("Web Hebrew AD"));
jf.getContentPane().add(label2);
jf.pack();
jf.setVisible(true);
public static void main(String[] args) {
setIsWorking(false);
why isnt it working?
thnaks in advance

Right off the bat I can see that you aren't starting the thread. Try:
    Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable()
      public void run()
    t.start();
