The Action Driver Class when it runs it just brings up a small box with java logo and close and minimize options thats all...... I have reviewd the code over and over and my instuctor said to just review my work... I am so lost....

**Action Driver Class**

class ActionsDriver
{

   public static void main (String[] args)
   {
   
      Actions eg = new Actions();
      
   }
      
}

**Action Class**

import javax.swing.*; 
import java.awt.*; 
import java.awt.event.*; 

class Actions extends JFrame implements ActionListener 
{ 

   private JFrame programFrame;    

   private JPanel programPanel1; 
   private JPanel programPanel2; 


   private JButton programButton1; 
   private JButton programButton2; 
   private JButton programButton3; 
   private JButton programButton4; 
   private JButton programButton5; 
  
   private JTextField programTextField; 

   public Actions() 
   { 
   
   
      programFrame = new JFrame("ENTD 380 Assignment #5"); 
      programFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); 
      programFrame.setSize(600,400); 
   
      programPanel1 = new JPanel(); 
      programPanel2 = new JPanel(); 
   
   
      programButton1 = new JButton("Button 1");  
      programButton2 = new JButton("Button 2");  
      programButton3 = new JButton("Button 3");  
      programButton4 = new JButton("Button 4");  
      programButton5 = new JButton("Button 5");  
   
      programTextField = new JTextField("None of the buttons have been pressed yet!"); 
      programTextField.setHorizontalAlignment(JTextField.CENTER); 
   
      programButton1.addActionListener(this); 
      programButton2.addActionListener(this); 
      programButton3.addActionListener(this); 
      programButton4.addActionListener(this); 
      programButton5.addActionListener(this); 
   
      programPanel1.add(programButton1);    
      programPanel1.add(programButton2); 
      programPanel1.add(programButton3); 
      programPanel1.add(programButton4); 
      programPanel1.add(programButton5); 
   
      programPanel2.add(programTextField); 
  
      programFrame.pack();
      programFrame.setResizable(false); 
      programFrame.setVisible(true); 
   
   } 

   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) 
   { 
   
      if (event.getSource() == programButton1) 
      { 
         programTextField.setText("Button 1 was pressed!"); 
      
      } 
      
      else if (event.getSource() == programButton2) 
      { 
         programTextField.setText("Button 2 was pressed!"); 
         
      } 
      else if (event.getSource() == programButton3) 
      {
         
         programTextField.setText("Button 3 was pressed!"); 
    
      }   
      else if (event.getSource() == programButton4) 
      { 
      
         programTextField.setText("Button 4 was pressed!"); 
  
      } 
      else 
      { 
      
         programTextField.setText("Button 5 was pressed!"); 
      
      }
