event handler not working properly

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JList;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.ListSelectionModel;

public class Hw4AtfDepartmentList extends JFrame
{
	private JList names;
	private JButton selectJButton;
	private final String departmentNames[] = { "CSE", "EE", "Physics", "Biology" };
	
	public Hw4AtfDepartmentList( Hw4AtfDepartment department )
	{	
		super( "Department Names" );
		setLayout( new FlowLayout() );
		
		names = new JList( departmentNames );
		names.setVisibleRowCount( 4 );
		names.setSelectionMode( ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION );
		
		add( new JScrollPane( names ) );
		
		selectJButton = new JButton( "Select" );
		
		selectJButton.addActionListener( 
		
			new ActionListener()
			{
				public void actionPerformed ( ActionEvent event )
				{
					System.out.println( "U pressed the button" );
				}
			}
		);
		add(selectJButton);
	}

	
}

this is not all the code, theres about 7 different files to post so this wont compile on its own. However, the gui appeared properly with the list and the select button is next to the list like it should. However, when I press select it will not print out "U pressed the button". Why wont it work?

You have a bug, but I don't see the bug in the code posted above. It makes me wonder when you pass an array of this class to itself in its constructor. Could you have multiple instances of this class in your program, one shadowing the other?

Its not passing it's self. The class names are different. One has list at the end.

Ah true. anyway, the above code works, so the bug is elsewhere.
