What do you mean by "can't run it"? - YOu don't know how to, you try to run it but nothing happens, you run it and you get an error message (if so- -s aying what?)... ?

what i meant is tht; when i compile this file using javac Nav2.java the class file is formed bt when i run it by java Nav2, not running..

I just tried your code and it runs, but throws an exception before it can display anything.
What exactly do you mean by "not running"? Does your command prompt hang? Do you get an error message? Is the command ignored and you just get the command prompt again???

i cant see my form.. i can c this.. bt i cant understand it

OK - you should have posted that with your very first post - it explains everything.
Here's what it means...

Exception... something went wrong
... null pointer ... you tried to use an uninitialised variable
... at Nav2.java:67 ... on line 67 of your program

Line 67 is: p1.add(l4);, so either p1 or l4 has not been initialised. Check your code to see which one you didn't initialise.

Yes, Yes, Yes it worked..!! Thank u vry muchhhh.. all i need to do was this: p1.add(l6);.. my previous code was p1.add(l4);.. Thank u vry much
