    Default JOptionPane in Swing

    I tried compiling this code but got an error in line 14. I don't understand what my problem is.
    Here is the error that I encountered:
    JOptionPane.java:14: error: cannot find symbol
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(frame,"Content");
    ^
    symbol: method showMessageDialog(JFrame,String)
    location: class JOptionPane
    1 error

    Can anyone help me?

    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;

    class JOptionPane
    {

    JFrame frame;

    public void CreateFrame()
    {
    frame = new JFrame("Testing");
    frame.setLayout(null);
    frame.setBounds(0,0,500,400);
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(frame,"Content");
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOS E);

    frame.setVisible(true);

    }

    public static void main(String args[])
    {
    JOptionPane obj = new JOptionPane();
    obj.CreateFrame();
    }

    }

    Default Re: JOptionPane in Swing

    class JOptionPane
    You are trying to define your own version of the Java SE class JOptionPane.
    Rename that declaration so the code uses the Java SE one.

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:

    [code]
    **YOUR CODE GOES HERE**
    [/code]

    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
