Current date wont update - swing

Question

I have 2 buttons one to log in and the other to log out. I would like both of them to show different times but for some reason unknown to me they do not. and when all the info is saved to a file it says null where there's no information. If there is a way to change that it would be greatly appreciated.

Simple answer withing swimming through your ocean of code, you need to create a new date in your actionPerformed whenever you want to show the updated date
example
public void actionPerforemd(ActionEvent e){
...
date = new Date();
// do something with date
...
}
