Value of variable not updating in Java NetBeans

Question

I have two java files in same package. I want to take the updated value of one variable from one file to another. I wrote the following code. In class1.java :-

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class class1 {
    public static String bar = "Yes";
    static int age = 26;
    public static void main(String[] args){
        switch(age) {
            case 25: bar = "world";
                break;
            case 26: bar = "good";
                break;
            case 27: bar = "very";
                break;
            case 30: bar = "hello";
                break;
            default: JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Please");
                break;
        }
    }
}

In class2.java :-

public class class2 {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        class1 second = new class1();
        System.out.println(second.bar);
    }
}

The problem is that the final value is printed Yes which should not be printed. The output should be good. Please help me.

@bigbounty I don't know how to do that. Can you tell me how to do with constructor? — Uday

class class1 {

    public String getBar(String age){
        String bar = "Yes";
        switch(Integer.valueOf(age)) {
            case 25: bar = "world";
                break;
            case 26: bar = "good";
                break;
            case 27: bar = "very";
                break;
            case 30: bar = "hello";
                break;
        }
        return bar;
    }
}

public class class2 {
    public static void main(String[] args){
    String age = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Age Please");
    class1 class1Obj = new class1();
    System.out.println(class1Obj.getBar(age));
    }
}

Thank you for your answer. This is much better way to get the value of var variable.

Though your answer is more tricky and better than previous, your answer do not give what exactly the solution is. So, I won't accept it as the answer. Thank you brother and sorry for this.

You create a class1 object, but you never run the main method. This means that the section of code never runs, and thus bar remains as "Yes".

In class2 insert second.main(args); before you print second.bar and you will get a good value.
