Answer 1

If you can't divide the class then you can't implement an MVC design methodology.
This class is a giant mess and can be EASILY broken down into smaller classes. Seperate the visual components into their own classes. Create Model objects that contain the data behind your visual components.
Split up your giant ActionListener into several smaller more specialized actionlisteners and create a Controller object that you can assign these listeners and models to. Allow the event handling to be done by the controller so it can propogate necessary data changes to the models, thus altering the Views.
Thats it in a nutshell. It is not an easy answer.
