    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
    at java.awt.Component.setLocation(Component.java:2112 )
    at java.awt.Window.setLocation(Window.java:934)
    at Maze.main(Maze.java:13)
    Look at line 13 in Maze for a null value. The java program expects a non-null value there.
    Read the API doc to see if you are using the method correctly or if you should use another method.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    mainframe.setLocation(null);
    Why? Maybe you mean setLocationRelativeTo(null), which will centre your window. That is your first problem anyhow.
    Your "Map" array is of length 16, 0 - 15, how do you ensure that when you request a substring from the array that the index is valid?

    As for how you name your variables, I suggest reading over Java naming conventions:
