Thread: Refreshing from teh main class

Is there a way to refresh a graphic from the main method? What i have is

 
public static void main(String ad[])
    {
	// Create the menu bar
	JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
 
	// Create a menu
	JMenu file = new JMenu("File");
	JMenu menu = new JMenu("Theme");
	menuBar.add(file);
	menuBar.add(menu);
 
	// Create a menu item
	JMenuItem exit = new JMenuItem("exit");
	JMenuItem def = new JMenuItem ("Updates on next move");
	JMenuItem item = new JMenuItem("Xmas");
	JMenuItem BB = new JMenuItem("Black and Blue");
	JMenuItem RB = new JMenuItem("Black and Red");
	JMenuItem WB = new JMenuItem("White and Blue");
	file.add(exit);
	menu.add(def);
	menu.add(item);
	menu.add(BB);
	menu.add(RB);
	menu.add(WB);
	exit.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
 
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
            { System.exit(0); }
        });
	def.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
 
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
            {
			r1 = 0;		r2 = 255;
			g1 = 0;     g2 = 255;
			b1 = 0;		b2 = 255;
 
			ThemeBC = new Color(r1,g1,b1);
			ThemeF = new Color(r2,g2,b2);
			}
        });
 
	WB.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
 
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
            {
			r1 = 255;		r2 = 0;
			g1 = 255;     	g2 = 0;
			b1 = 255;		b2 = 255;
 
			ThemeBC = new Color(r1,g1,b1);
			ThemeF = new Color(r2,g2,b2);
			}
        });
     BB.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
 
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
            {
			r1 = 0;	r2 = 0;
			g1 = 0;     g2 = 0;
			b1 = 0;		b2 = 255;
 
			ThemeBC = new Color(r1,g1,b1);
			ThemeF = new Color(r2,g2,b2);
			}
        });
     RB.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
 
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
            {
			r1 = 0;		r2 = 255;
			g1 = 0;     g2 = 0;
			b1 = 0;		b2 = 0;
 
			ThemeBC = new Color(r1,g1,b1);
			ThemeF = new Color(r2,g2,b2);
			}
        });
	item.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
 
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
            {
			r1 = 255;	r2 = 0;
			g1 = 0;     g2 = 128;
			b1 = 0;		b2 = 0;
 
			ThemeBC = new Color(r1,g1,b1);
			ThemeF = new Color(r2,g2,b2);
			}
        });
 
	// Install the menu bar in the frame
		JFrame jwill = new JFrame();
        JDub a=new JDub();
        jwill.getContentPane().add(a, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        jwill.setSize(new Dimension(700,700));
        jwill.setResizable(false);
        jwill.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
        jwill.setVisible(true);
        jwill.setJMenuBar(menuBar);
 
 
    }//end of main class

thats only a snippet of my code (the main class) The variables are all private(global variables)

What i want if for when 1 of the action listeneres are performed it updated my graphic to show the new color layout of the action listener. so how could i force it to update without waiting till the next (action is performed on screen) i have a game that goes with the code and it runs the problem is waiting on the swap method to be called to update the screen with the new themes.

I want the entire scren to refresh when 1 of the actionlisteners are activated.

basically is there a way to run a non static method in a static location? I.E. the nonstatic method of repaint(); in the static method of the main class?

I would but im on a computer without a jdk so I can not get to the data right this second to see if it is compilable. It will be roughly 2 hours before i can create a SSCCE
