Can some one help me how to figured it out...

and your question is

cannot figure it out..what I did wrong..What I did wrong to that..I was stuck on here...

sorry you'll hate my person

no, no, don't do it that, maybe somebody has online compilator with/for unpublished methods, sooo maybe somebody has another ..., I think that this code doesn't work by ..., never in this form

my advide split that

a/ GUI
1/ don't extends main Class with JFrame & Listeners too, that's for JavaExampleDepot
2/ GUI passing Listeners to JComponents (well I see public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {)
3/ your Gui probably freeze

b/ services

1/ for long task (there I see something about File) you have to use backGround task

c/ programing logics == sure equals skils

what you are tried with semaphore methods

public void addPiece() {
public void addhourly() {
....

you have a lot of time and patience with that

1000 lines of code, and you ask how to fix it? Have you not tested your program as you wrote the thing? Please come back when you have a snippet of your exact problem. This isn't your personal debugging community.
