Usually I know what the problem is or how to describe it. But this is just beyond my understanding.
I have a set of public static variables in my main class, the first thing that happens in the main(String[] a) method of the project is displaying two of those. But for some reason when I changed it in the declaration, the program still runs of the old one. I have attempted removing the static and calling them from within the method with the same result. As far as I can test all variables in this section of the program suffer from the same problem.
Here is the screenshot of the code and variable (I made a break point on the main method just to be sure nothing else runs):

In case this matters, I have actually changed computers since the last version of the app, I have a new installation of everything but I rebuild all directories as they were and besides this variable change (or lack there of) everything runs with no issues.
