import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

     base()
          JFrame frame = new JFrame("Base class Message Dialog Box");
          JPanel panel = new JPanel();
          JButton buttonchildone = new JButton("Child class one");
          buttonchildone.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
               public actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                    childone ch1=new childone();
               return ch1;
          JButton buttonchildtwo = new JButton("Child class two");
          buttonchildtwo.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
               public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)

          panel.add(buttonchildone);
          panel.add(buttonchildtwo);
          frame.add(panel);
          frame.setSize(300, 300);
          frame.setVisible(true);
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
     void show()
          System.out.println("Base class show() method");
public class mainmethod
     public static void main(String[] args)

You probably need to rethink your design. Where are these child classes going? What is using or consuming them? I agree with the message above about a button instantiating a parent field variable to one child or the other depending on which button is pressed.
