i'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out why a '}' is expected at the end of this line:

public ProductCatalog() {

my code is too long to post here... anyone have any general tips/suggestions why the compiler's saying this?

[CornedBee]

You're probably missing the final } of the class.

Or maybe you're trying to declare multiple classes in one file, that's illegal AFAIK.

[quipy]

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

public class AAA {

public AAA() {

String id;

}

}

that's fine.

public class AAA {

public AAA() {

private String id;

}

}

with the private keyword there, an error appears, that says that the '}' is expected, that the method (or constructor) must end... what???

[CornedBee]

Variables inside the constructor cannot have access attributes.

Class variables are declared outside any functions:

public class AAA {

private String id;

public AAA() {
}

}


Note: use tags to post code, it preserves indentation.
