    public static int diameter = 50;
    JButton button;

    public static class CircleDrawPanel extends JPanel
    {
        public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
        {
            int x = 225;
            int y = 200;

            g.setColor(Color.BLUE);           //blue oval
            g.fillOval(x,y,diameter,diameter);//fill ovel
        }

        public void go()
        {
            JFrame frame = new JFrame();
            frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

            JButton button = new JButton("click me to grow the circle");   //c
            //button.addActionListener(this);
            //button.addActionListener(new increaseCircle());

            CircleDrawPanel myPanel = new CircleDrawPanel();


            frame.getContentPane().add(BorderLayout.EAST, button);      //c

            frame.getContentPane().add(myPanel);
            frame.setSize(500,500);//display 500*500 JFrame
            frame.setVisible(true);
        }
    }
    public static void main(String[]args)
        {
            CircleDrawPanel myPanel = new CircleDrawPanel();
            myPanel.go();
        }

       //public static class increaseCircle implements ActionListener
       // {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
            {
                button.setText("haha :)");
            }

writing this line of code in go() method give me an error.

How about posting the specific details of the error? Most of us here don't like playing guessing games.

this is an instance of CircleDrawPanel, and not of GrowCircleTest (because its a static class!) so its not implementing the listener interface. you could move the implements ActionListener (and the actionPerformed method) into the CircleDrawPanel class!

How can I add implements ActionListener to CircleDrawPanel extends JPanel ?
Because CircleDrawPanel have extends JPanel.
Please tell me how can I do this?

Nice, it's not the complete error message. That may be a bit more useful than a bunch of exclamation points.

But regardless, don't have your GUI class implement ActionListener because that's asking it to do too much. I strongly advise you to use either anonymous inner ActionListener class, or a private inner ActionListener class, or a stand alone class.
