    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.event.*;
    class GUI2 extends JFrame implements ActionListener
    {
    public static void main(String s[])
    {

    JFrame jf=new JFrame("my tool");
    JButton jb=new JButton("submit");
    jb.addActionListener(this);
    jf.add(jb);
    }

    {
    System.out.println("button clicked");
    }

    ActionPerformed != actionPerformed. Case matters.

    You're in the main() method, which is static. That means you aren't "inside" a particular instance of GUI2, so you can't use the this keyword. You need to instantiate an instance of GUI2 before you can use it.
