          this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          Container contentPane = this.getContentPane();
          //Created a pane with four panels and null columns
          contentPane.setLayout(new GridLayout(4,0));
          JMenuBar menubar = new JMenuBar();
          setJMenuBar(menubar);
          JMenu file = new JMenu("file");
          JMenuItem open = new JMenuItem ("Open...");
          JMenuItem save = new JMenuItem("Save");
          JMenuItem close = new JMenuItem ("Close");

          menubar.add(file);
          file.add(open);
          file.add(print);
          file.add(close);
          file.add(save);
          close.addActionListener(

                         System.exit(0);
          JPanel panel = new JPanel();
          panel.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));
          contentPane.add(panel);
          JLabel employeeId = new JLabel("Please Enter the employeeId", JLabel.CENTER);
          final JTextField t = new JTextField(15);
          t.setToolTipText("Please Enter the employeeId");

          t2.setEditable(true);
          t2.setText("Enter the numbers of days in here");
          JButton submit = new JButton ("SUBMIT");

                                        System.open();
          p2.add(days);
          p2.add(t2);
          p2.add(submit);
          contentPane.add(p2);

Similarly to this above discussion, I would like to know how to launch another java file by clicking a button "submit". Can you guys guide me based on the code i have shown below..?
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
class MenuFrame extends Frame implements ActionListener
Label login=new Label("Login ID :",Label.CENTER);
TextField lname=new TextField(12);
Label pass=new Label("Password :",Label.CENTER);
TextField lpass=new TextField(10);
Button submit=new Button("Submit");
public MenuFrame(String title)
super(title);
setLayout(new FlowLayout());
add(login);
add(lname);
add(pass);
add(lpass);
add(submit);
submit.addActionListener(this);
addWindowListener(new CloseWindow());
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
Object source=e.getSource();
if(source == submit)
lname.setText("w");
lpass.setText("w");
repaint();
public static void main(String args[])
MenuFrame m=new MenuFrame("Java Chat Application");
m.setSize(200,200);
m.show();
class CloseWindow extends WindowAdapter{
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent event){
System.exit(0);
