What makes you think that something isn't working? It would help if you showed us some evidence of your problem -- like what you expected to happen, what happened instead, what error messages appeared, and so on. Read our FAQ article TellTheDetails for more about that.

ItDoesntWorkIsUseless. What doesn't it do?

Anyway, I did find one mistake. You should move line 39 to within the try statement (move it down one line). Otherwise the InputMismatchException won't be caught.

In the main menu there are 8 option for the user to choose. From 1 to 8. I created a validation so that if the user enters anything different for example a char the program will not stop but instead show the user an error message.
My mistake was that line 39 was not inside the try{}.
Now it is working fine. Thnaks guys.
