Problem with DiveLog SampleApp

Hi,

Trying to teach myself Java, and going throught the sample divelog application.

Stuck at the first part, and seems there's a problem with the provided code where you say public DiveLog() .... something about invalid method declaration; return type required

Here is the code (and for incase you wonder, I did create the other classes (basically empty for now) correctly. I'm using JCreator (don't want to make it to easy with using NetBeans for now)

VB Code:

package divelog;
 
import javax.swing.awt.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
 
public class Divelog {
    
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Divelog dl = new Divelog();
    }
    private JFrame dlframe;
    private JTabbedPane tabbedPane;
    
    public DiveLog(){
        
        //create a frame object to add the appl gui components to
        dlframe = new JFrame("A Java(TM) Technology Dive Log");     
        //closes from title bar and from menu
        dlframe.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
            public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e)
            {
                system.exit(0);
            }
        });
        
        //tabbed pane with panels for JComponents       
        tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane(SwingConstants.LEFT);
        tabbedPane.setBackground(Color.blue);
        tabbedPane.setForeground(Color.white);
        
        //A method that adds individual tabs to the tabbedpane object.
        populateTabbedPane();
        
        //Calls the method that builds the menu
        buildMenu();
            
        dlframe.getContentPane().add(tabbedPane);
        dlframe.pack();
        dlframe.setSize(765, 690);
        dlframe.setBackground(Color.white);
        dlframe.setVisible(True);
            
    }  //end public DiveLog
        
    private void populatetabbedPane()   {
        
        //create tabs with titles
        tabbedPane.addTab("Welcome", null, new Welcome(), "Welcome to the Dive Log");
        tabbedPane.addTab("Diver Data", null, new Diver(), "Click here to enter diver data");
        tabbedPane.addTab("Log Dives", null, new Dives(), "Click here to enter dives");
        tabbedPane.addTab("Statistics", null, new Statistics(), "Click here to calculate dive statistics");
        tabbedPane.addTab("Favorite Website", null, new WebSite(), "Click here to see a web site");
        tabbedPane.addTab("Resources", null, new Resources(), "Click here to see a list of resources");
                
    }  //end populatetabbedPane method
    
    private void buildMenu() {
        
        //instantiate JMenuBar, JMenu and JMenuItem
        JMenuBar mb = new JMenuBar();
        JMenu menu = new JMenu("File");
        JMenu item = new JMenu("Exit");
        
        //closes the application from the Exit menu item
        item.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
        {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
            {
                System.exit(0);
            }
        });
        
        //adds the item to the menu object
        menu.add(item);
        //adds the menu object with item to the menubar
        mb.add(menu);
        //sets the menubar in the frame
        dlFrame.setJMenuBar(mb);        
        
    }  //end buildMenu method
    
} //end public class DiveLog

Java's case sensative, so you must have the same identifier for the constructor method as the class declaration.

For example, you had:

public class Divelog

and in the constructor you had:

public DiveLog

using an uppercase L.

So just change the u case L to a lower case L.

Thanx mate, will do that.

Huh-uh....even the most simple application (HelloWorld) that works fine using notepad and command prompt, give that same error....
Not gonna use this anyhow...looks like nothing more that a cool text editor (someone's gonna hate me for that I guess)

:eek2:
