You have 2 JFrames!

[evak77]

Can you point that out for me, I do not see it.

Does your IDE have a Search? Try looking for where there is definition of a JFrame.
Does the main class extend JFrame?

[evak77]

I do have the search and I see the instances of JFrame, but I am still not sure which one is causing the issue, can someone explain it and point out what the problem is so i can correct it and not do it again.

1st way: Create a class Week that is derived from another class (here JFrame)
Week is now a subclass of JFrame class
public class Week2 extends JFrame{

2nd way: Create a class Week that is derived by default from Object
public class Week1 {
And in this class create field JFrame frame;

Which strategy you want to select?
