    Default Multiple newbie issues

    I am new to java and I am currently trying to write an application to stream tweets using twitter4j. I have made some progress and am able to get the streams to a textbox. I am struggling with a few things though:
    I want to be able to start the stream using a "Go"-button. I am sorta able to do this at the moment by placing the listening code inside the button class(?!).
    But the thing is that I also want to be able to stop the streaming by removing the listener and to this is need to place the declaration of the listener outside the "Go"-button. Where should I place it?

    I am also getting some compilation error on the line with "RateLimitStatus rateLimitStatus= twitter.getRateLimitStatus();" I can't understand why because when I used jCreatorLE this worked fine. Now I am using Netbeans and it isn't happy with something. The errorlightbulb is saying something like this "unreported exception twitter4.TwitterException; must be caught or declared to be thrown... Surround with... Introduce..." I take it has something to do with error catching? But how and where do I catch it?

    I am grateful for any help at all! I hope I have provided enough info if not please let me know.

    The code in its entirety:

    unreported exception TwitterException; must be caught or declared to be thrown
    One of the methods you call is defined to throw that exception. Your code must handle that exception. Either put the call to the method in a try/catch block to handle the possible exception or define your method to declare that it throws that same exception to pass its handling to the caller of your method.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    I am not entirely sure on how to do that. I tried the following approach and I realize that it is wrong but I don't know the proper way to address this.


     
            RateLimitStatus rateLimitStatus= twitter.getRateLimitStatus();
            catch (TwitterException e)
             { /* handle exception or just continue? */ };


    This just throws the following error when compiling:

    D:\My documents\Documents\NetBeansProjects\Twitter4jAppI nterface\src\TwitterAppGUI.java:153: error: illegal start of type
    catch (TwitterException e)
    1 error

    Thank you for your patience Norm! Much appreciated!

    where is the try that pairs with the catch?
    Look at the tutorial:
    Catching and Handling Exceptions (The Java™ Tutorials > Essential Classes > Exceptions)
