Thread: Need help understanding the error

Ok the Error is on line 214. This program is getting kind of big I am trying to make it easy to get to the problem. I have no clue what it is telling me, To be completely honest I am shocked I designed a GUI and this is my only error. So any help would be awesome. I just need to know what it means and if possible how to fix it. Also please tell me if I am using the code tags correctly on here.

No I just checked and rechecked all the {} are paired. Is there any other reason for that error? I am sure I have done something wrong this is my first attempt at a GUI and this went way too smooth.

This is the next line of code

package my.inventoryGUI; //starts my GUI

But that is what is supposed to have right? As you can see I have noted this starts my GUI.

It's exactly as stated in the error message:

InventoryProgram.java:214: error: class, interface, or enum expected
package InventoryProgram my.inventoryGUI; //starts my GUI

Take a look at line 214 as well as the statement package InventoryProgram my.inventoryGUI; //starts my GUI. Around there you have:

    }// end class manufacturer
 
package  my.inventoryGUI; //starts my GUI
 
public class InventoryGUI extends javax.swing.JFrame {
 
    // Creates new form InventoryGUI

The "package" statement can only be placed at the top of a source file, and each public class must be in its own file.

Ok so help me out here, Cause I thought I needed that. Will my GUI work with out it or do I just have it in the wrong place. This is always my problem I know what to write just not where it belongs.

You'd want these classes to be split up into their own files, InventoryProgram.java and InventoryGUI.java, respectively, in keeping with having 1 public class per file. So, just cut starting from package my.inventoryGUI; //starts my GUI, include the whole of the InventoryGUI class source code, and paste them into InventoryGUI.java.

Noting that you have package my.inventoryGUI above the InventoryGUI class definition, you'll need to place InventoryGUI.java into the my\InventoryGUI folder. This is because in Java the folder/directory structure needs to follow the package structure.

Noting also that the InventoryProgram class does not have a package statement above it (and therefore is in the "default" package), assuming InventoryProgram.java is currently located in c:\project\src, InventoryGUI.java will need to be placed into c:\project\src\my\inventoryGUI.
