three things
1. What's your error?
2. Where is the error located?
3. And, it looks like you're missing a closing brace for the pottery1 constructor

riaz · April 5th, 2007, 08:47 PM

here are the errors

javac -d . -g -classpath . pottery1.java

pottery1.java:33: illegal start of expression
public TabbedPane() {
^
pottery1.java:87: '}' expected
};
^
2 errors

dafl00 · April 6th, 2007, 08:50 AM

for the first error: if TabbedPane is supposed to be a method, then it should have a return type (for example public void TabbedPane { ... })

for the second error:
app.addWindowListener(
   new WindowAdapter() {
      public void windowClosing( WindowEvent e )
      {
         System.exit( 0 );
      }
   }
); <-- you forgot the semicolon here

That should take care of those two immediate errors, but you may still get more syntatic errors.

In one case, you call super() twice, but you're only supposed to call it once. If you need to set the layout then use the setLayout method

On a different note, panel1 and panel2 are your different tabs. If you are going to assign texts and labels then you should assign them to one of the panels: panel1.add(theComponent);
In this way, when you click on the other tab, the correct texts and labels appear and the others disappear.

I hope this helps you a little bit.

On one last note, in order to help yourself find some of the simple syntatic errors use TABS between all { and }

Code:

{
   first level indentation
   {
      second level indentation
      {
         third level indentation
      }
   }
}

In this way you can easily match them up against one another. However, if the lack of indentation happened because of the copy and paste then ignore that.

      super( "The Pottery Store" );

      Container c = getContentPane();
      c.setLayout( new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.CENTER, 30,30));
   } <-- you still forgot the closing brace for the pottery1 constructor

seems like this would be a simple error to spot
in order to avoid this error in the future make sure to write the starting and closing brace before adding the method code:

Code:

public void method()
   {
      // Ready to code
   }
