Hi everyone :)

So what I want to do. I have a GUI application-simple game.
In this game I have a button Restart and when a user click it I would like that the application restart itself and start from the begining.

I tried something like this:

when button restart is pressed {  //pseudocode

try {

   Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java -jar application.jar");

   System.exit(0);

} catch (IOException e) {

}

}

This works 50%. What it does. It kills the precedent application and start the same again. But the first problem is that it takes samething like 1-2 seconds to do that. And in this time you can see on the desktop how the application dissaper and reaper.
I would to do that without dissapearint.. just restart the game.
And secondly it works only the first time.. if I want to restart it the second time it just close/exit itself.

Create a new object of the Gui, and dispose the current?

[mariob316]

ActionEvent {  //pseudocode

Classname.this.dispose();

new Classname();

}
