I have a program that simulates football. When I run the Main class normally in eclipse the program runs fine. My problem is that I want to create a main menu that will call the Main method and start the game. I have the menu made and it calls the method, starts the game but does not draw the game to the screen. This only happens when I start the game from the menu, if ran directly from Eclipse it works fine. Here is the code:
*package SimpleSoccer;
//imports removed
/**
* Class to show main menu and give options to view stats, start new game, or exit
*
*
*/
public class MainMenu extends JFrame {
//constructor
MainMenu() {
super("Main Menu for Soccer Simulator");
setSize(400, 300);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
Container content = getContentPane();
content.setBackground(Color.green);
content.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
JButton startGame = new JButton("Start Game");
content.add(startGame);
startGame.addActionListener(new ButtonListener());
JButton viewStats = new JButton("View Stats");
content.add(viewStats);
viewStats.addActionListener(new ButtonListener2());
JButton exit = new JButton("Exit");
content.add(exit);
exit.addActionListener(new ButtonListener3());
setVisible(true);
}
//for the start game button
//Main m = new Main();
class ButtonListener implements ActionListener {
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent a) {
Main.main(null);
}
}
//for the view stats button
class ButtonListener2 implements ActionListener {
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent a) {
StatTable.main(null);
}
}
//for the exit button
class ButtonListener3 implements ActionListener {
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent a) {
System.exit(0);
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
MainMenu m = new MainMenu();
}
}*
The Main class:

When I press the "New Game" button the program runs but seems to skip the paint() method, can anyone tell me why this is happening? Thanks
