Thread: Can't display an image...

this is a simple program i wrote; i have to use this Picture.class file that my professor provided, and thus i am having a lot of trouble undertand how to use the file with the program. eventually i will have to manipulate the image itself, but right now i can't even display it.

i am getting one error when i try to compile, read as: java/image/Picture.java:1: <identifier> expected


import Picture.class;

public class Picture
{
public static void main(String[] args){
Picture pic = new Picture("caterpillar.jpeg");
pic.showImage();
}
}


any ideas?

i have three files in one folder: one is the Picture.java file, one is the Picture.class file, and the other is the image i am trying to display.

if i use import media.Picture; then i get three errors. if i use import Picture; then i get two errors that read:

image/Picture.java:1: '.' expected
image/Picture.java:1: ';' expected

what am i doing wrong now?
