So I have a code and my problem is toggling visibility of JPanel with JButton. Here are my Packages - Classes:

start - Main
panels - Panels
labels - Labels

I am creating the button in package labels class Labels with this

public static JButton ScriptDLBotton(JPanel navPanel) {
  JButton contactsButton = new JButton("Show");
  contactsButton.setVisible(true);
  contactsButton.setBounds(250,82,70, 20);
  navPanel.add(contactsButton); 
  return contactsButton;
}

I am calling it from start.Main with this

JButton ScriptDLbutton = Labels.ScriptDLBotton(AppsPanel)

And I want when I press the button it go to package panels class Panels and change

public static JPanel createAppDiscriptionPanel(JFrame frame) {
  JPanel navDiscPanel = new JPanel ();
  navDiscPanel.setVisible(false);
  navDiscPanel.setBounds(350,100,640, 380);
  navDiscPanel.setBackground(Color.yellow);
  navDiscPanel.setLayout(null);
  frame.add(navDiscPanel);
  return navDiscPanel;}

from visible false to true. Thx in advance for any help.
