also all my marked occurrences is 

 jPanel1.removeAll();

Line 89 is

 jButton1.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {

Any ideas how to solve this ? I also searched online to find any help but i didn't found anything. All answers are appreciated. Thank you in advance

You need to DEBUG your code:

Have you initialized jButton1? Since the NullPointerException occurs an line 89, jButton1 is probably null. To be sure, try simply System.out.println(jButton1);, if it prints out Null, it means you didn't initialize it correctly.

I don't know if it's the case, but if it is, avoid variable declarations like JButton jButton1 = null;, using JButton jButton1; instead, because by initializing a variable with null you're preventing the compiler to warn you whenever you forget to initialize an object.
