    Default Re: Cant find main class swing

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, to sum up:
    The code is above, I have made a gui for my code but It isn't picking it up as the main. How do I set it as main? I followed a tutorial on oracle before this on swing, and it worked fine asking me to use the GUI as main, but now for whatever reason, it is not, how can i resolve this? Thanks ~ Logan Crone.

    Default Re: Cant find main class swing

    You have to be more explicit as to how you are running the code. Is it in a jar? Are you using the command line? Are you using an IDE? Based upon the code, I'd bet you are using an IDE with a GUI editor (which I would recommend against unless you are familiar with constructing GUI's manually).

    Assignment says you have to use Netbeans IDE.

    Default Re: Cant find main class swing

    I don't use netbeans, but there must be a way to set the class which contains the application entry point (main method). The code you posted contains a main method, so I'd recommend reviewing the docs on your IDE or searching the internet for instructions on how to set the main class in Netbeans. I'll move your thread to the IDE section.
