Simple linking of class1 to class2 Problem help me please

[RichersooN]

I want to link my class1 to class2 but I have an error

java.lang.StackOverflowError
at sun.awt.Win32GraphicsConfig.getBounds(Native Method)

This is supposed to be a simple chat program, when I hit the send button in class1, the class2 will appear.

Here's the code:
Class1.java

public class class1 extends JFrame {
	class2 c2 = new class2();
	
    public class1() {
        lblHeader = new JLabel();
        jScrollPane1 = new JScrollPane();
        txtAreaChat = new JTextArea();
        txtEnterChat = new JTextField();
        btnSend = new JButton();

        setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        getContentPane().setLayout(null);

        lblHeader.setText("Chatter 1");

        txtAreaChat.setColumns(20);
        txtAreaChat.setEditable(false);
        txtAreaChat.setRows(5);
        
        jScrollPane1.setViewportView(txtAreaChat);
        
        btnSend.setText("Send");
        btnSend.addActionListener(
        		new ActionListener(){
        			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
        				c2.setVisible(true);
        			}
        		}
        );
        
        getContentPane().add(lblHeader);
        getContentPane().add(jScrollPane1);
        getContentPane().add(txtEnterChat);
        getContentPane().add(btnSend);

        lblHeader.setBounds(70, 10, 50, 14);
        txtEnterChat.setBounds(10, 220, 160, 20);
        jScrollPane1.setBounds(10, 40, 166, 170);
        btnSend.setBounds(60, 250, 75, 23);      
        
        Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
        setBounds((screenSize.width-196)/2, (screenSize.height-312)/2, 196, 312);
    }

class2.java

public class class2 extends JFrame {
	class1 c1 = new class1();
	
    public class2() {
        lblHeader = new JLabel();
        jScrollPane1 = new JScrollPane();
        txtAreaChat = new JTextArea();
        txtEnterChat = new JTextField();
        btnSend = new JButton();

        setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        getContentPane().setLayout(null);

        lblHeader.setText("Chatter 1");

        txtAreaChat.setColumns(20);
        txtAreaChat.setEditable(false);
        txtAreaChat.setRows(5);
        
        jScrollPane1.setViewportView(txtAreaChat);
        
        btnSend.setText("Send");
        btnSend.addActionListener(
        		new ActionListener(){
        			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
        				c1.setVisible(true);
        			}
        		}
        );
        
        getContentPane().add(lblHeader);
        getContentPane().add(jScrollPane1);
        getContentPane().add(txtEnterChat);
        getContentPane().add(btnSend);

        lblHeader.setBounds(70, 10, 50, 14);
        txtEnterChat.setBounds(10, 220, 160, 20);
        jScrollPane1.setBounds(10, 40, 166, 170);
        btnSend.setBounds(60, 250, 75, 23);

        Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
        setBounds((screenSize.width-196)/2, (screenSize.height-312)/2, 196, 312);
    }

Please help me guys..

You've got infinite recursion going on. If you create a class1 object, it creates a class2 object which creates a class1 object which creates a class2 object, which creates a class1 object which creates a class2 object, which creates a class1 object which creates a class2 object, which creates a class1 object which creates a class2 object, which creates a class1 object which creates a class2 object, which...

Solution: don't do this.

Better for you to fix your own code. But to solve it, only have one class create an instance of another. Don't have both classes create instances of the other.

For instance, what you have is this:

public class ClassRecursion {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      Class1 c1 = new Class1();
   }
}

class Class1 {
   Class2 c2 = new Class2();
   
   public Class1() {
      System.out.println("inside class 1");
   }
}

class Class2 {
   Class1 c1 = new Class1();
   
   public Class2() {
      System.out.println("inside class 2");
   }
}

If you run this, you'll see the same error as in your code and for the very same reason.

What you want instead is to have one of the classes create an instance of the other, and the other class to receive a reference to the first, something like so:

public class ClassRecursion {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      Class1 c1 = new Class1();
   }
}

class Class1 {
   Class2B c2b = new Class2B(this); // pass a reference to the current Class1 into Class2B constructor
   
   public Class1() {
      System.out.println("inside class 1");
   }
}

class Class2B {
   Class1 c1;
   
   public Class2B(Class1 c1) {
      System.out.println("inside class 2B");
      this.c1 = c1;
   }
}
