I am beginner in java. I created a JPanel form in java (NetBeans). then, i defined some actions such as mathematical calculations. When i ran my project, i did not get any error, but i could not see the JPanel form in the running time. because i did not define jform in main class. how can i define JPanel form in main class to show me JPanel form in running time.

JPanel is not a runnable class without a top-level container like JFrame and you need a main method. Instead of creating JPanel form, you should have created a JFrame form that has a main method auto-generated for you. It looks like you are using Netbeans GUI Builder. Just open a new JFrame form. And you can just add the JPanel form to the JFrame form.
With NetBeans desing view, you can just drag and drop your JPanel form to you JFrame form, as seen here
Also to explicitly specify the Main class of a project, see here
