    You have to compile your code first. Since it doesn't compile you will need to fix the errors first before you can run your program.

    Default Re: I can't understand the error.

    I'm not a compiler. The compiler is better suited to tell you what they are and where they are. Does your code compile?

    The error I thought was there was due to the browser not correctly displaying the underscore in your class name.

    Default Re: I can't understand the error.

    I can see a main method in this code and it compiled fine for me in Eclipse. It pops up the GUI with 2 buttons on but they don't do anything.

    Default Re: I can't understand the error.

    This looks like a continuation of a problem the OP posted on another thread. I think that The posted code is not what he was executing. The code from the other thread has a call to the main() which was left out of the code posted here. If any of you had your crystal balls working you would have known that.
