That's a lot of code!

You don't actually create a ButtonListener let alone add one to a button.

---

You need to register the action listener with the button.

 //Step 1.
 JButton b1 = new JButton("1");

//Step2 register
b1.addActionListener(new ButtonListener());

---

EDIT

Start by declaring the Buttons as in step 1 above. Then in the content pane you need to add the button similar to the way you are adding the buttons right now.

   contentPane.add(b1);

Now the button should display.
