i am making a shooting game and i want to make levels something basic like... when you start up this many enemies show once enemy count reaches 0 the game "resets"(not reset the program just move everything back to starting position) and adds more characters... and add a level counter if its possible

A level counter would be good. You can use it to determine how many enemies to add, etc. What do you think is involved in adding a counter to the world class (not currently worrying about displaying it at this point)?

Even before any methods, you need a field to hold the value of the counter. Then, you can write the methods required to change or return its value.

Maybe this page of the java tutorials might help.

If you had a field in your world subclass to track the level number and a method (maybe called 'levelUp') that you could call in that class to increment the level number and remove/replace/reset whatever, that should be all you would need.
