    Sorry, I forgot to ask you to use code tags.

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
    [code=java]
    <YOUR CODE HERE>
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

    What are your questions?

    To wrap your code with code tags:
    [code=java] <<<<<<<<<<<<< THIS goes before the code

    <YOUR CODE HERE>

    [/code] <<<<<<<<<<<< THIS goes after the code

    --- Update ---

    What is your problem with the code in post#9?

    How can that code be compiled and executed for testing?
