Java Software Solutions Graphics Example 2.10

[erosgol]

Hey guys quick question working on a graphics example in my Java book can not get this to run. Can you please take a look and get back to me with it is wrong.

package Einstein;

class Einstein;
.................................................. ...............

package einstein;

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

public class Einstein extends JApplet
{
public void paint(Graphics page)
{
page.drawRect(50,50,40,40);
page.drawRect(60,80,225,30);
page.drawOval(75,65,20,20);
page.drawLine(35,60,100,120);

page.drawString("Out of Clutter, Find Simplicity." , 100,70);
page.drawString("-- Alber Einstein --", 130,100);
}
}

can not get this to run

What happens when you try to run it?

[erosgol]

When trying to run it on Netbeans it gave an error of not having a main class? So I tryed it in eclipse and it did run. Not really sure y it dident work on netbeans any ideas?

Applets do not have a main method. There is probably a way in your IDE to define whether to run it as an applet - which I presume you wish to run this as - or an application (I don't use Netbeans so cannot make any suggestions other than this)

[erosgol]

ok so they example above came from my friends java book. I have the newer book and it shows the example like this


package Einstein;

class Einstein;
.................................................. ...............

//package einstein; <----- lists no package

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

Einstein JApplet <---- has not public class extends
{
paint(Graphics page) <---- has no public void
{
page.drawRect(50,50,40,40);
page.drawRect(60,80,225,30);
page.drawOval(75,65,20,20);
page.drawLine(35,60,100,120);

page.drawString("Out of Clutter, Find Simplicity." , 100,70);
page.drawString("-- Alber Einstein --", 130,100);
}
}

not really sure why id think it was a typo if not for the fact its in both of the examples ive looked at can some 1 explain this?

[KevinWorkman]

No no no. The code you just posted is not valid- and you would know that if you had tried to run it yourself.

You've already received the answer. Are you trying to run this as an applet or an application?

[erosgol]

err I did try the question was, why was the newer book different and found out there was a list of corrections released and it was a mistake in the book. I am running it as an applet, and now have it working. I hope with time I can become a Great programmer like you Kevin, but till then I guess ill be posting questions that ive already received the answer to.
