    Default Accessing toolkit

    Hi I'm trying to access the toolkit for an assignment I'm writing and I keep getting the same compiler message. What am I doing wrong?

    import java.text.DecimalFormat;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.Scanner;

    public class Robert_Gardner_6_07
    {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
    {
    // Delcare them variables
    // File names
    final String INPUT_FILE_NAME = "RobertGardner_6_07_Input.txt";
    final String OUTPUT_FILE_NAME = "RobertGardner_6_07__Output.txt";

    // Append current file boolean variable
    final boolean APPEND_INDICATOR = false; // Create a new file

    int numberOfNumbers = 0; // Number of numbers in input file
    double reImb = 0; // Used for reimbursement amount
    double oneNumber; // A single number read from the file
    double sum = 0; // Sum of milage calculated
    double sumReimb = 0; // Sum of reimbursement
    String processPhrase; // Indicates appending or creating a file

    // Access the Toolkit using the variable 'tools'
    Toolkit_General tools = new Toolkit_General();

    // Access the input and output files
    File inputDataFile = new File(INPUT_FILE_NAME); // Access input
    Scanner inputScanner = new Scanner(inputDataFile);
    FileWriter outputDataFile = new FileWriter(OUTPUT_FILE_NAME ,APPEND_INDICATOR);
    PrintWriter outputFile = new PrintWriter(outputDataFile);

    // Format numeric output
    DecimalFormat formatter = new DecimalFormat("#,##0.0");

    if (APPEND_INDICATOR)
    processPhrase = "Appending";
    else
    processPhrase = "Creating";
    // Display file information on console
    System.out.println("Reading file " + INPUT_FILE_NAME + "\n" +
    processPhrase + " file " + OUTPUT_FILE_NAME);

    // Display heading in output file
    if (inputScanner.hasNext()) {
    printHeading();
    outputFile.println("Miles and Reimbursement");
    outputFile.println("-----------------------");
    }

    // Read the input file and sum the numbers.
    while (inputScanner.hasNext())
    {
    inputScanner.nextLine();
    oneNumber = inputScanner.nextDouble();
    numberOfNumbers++;
    sum += oneNumber;

    // Print number to output file
    outputFile.println(oneNumber);

    if (oneNumber < 400) {
    reImb = (oneNumber * .018);
    sumReimb += reImb; // Add reimbursement amount to total
    } else if (oneNumber >= 400 && oneNumber < 900) {
    reImb = 65.00 + (0.15 * (oneNumber - 400));
    sumReimb += reImb; // Add reimbursement amount to total
    } else if (oneNumber >= 900 && oneNumber < 1300) {
    reImb = 115.00 + (0.12 * (oneNumber - 800));
    sumReimb += reImb; // Add reimbursement amount to total
    } else if (oneNumber >= 1300 && oneNumber < 1900) {
    reImb = 140.00 + (0.10 * (oneNumber - 1200));
    sumReimb += reImb; // Add reimbursement amount to total
    } else if (oneNumber >= 1900 && oneNumber < 2600) {
    reImb = 165.00 + (0.08 * (oneNumber - 1800));
    sumReimb += reImb; // Add reimbursement amount to total
    } else if (oneNumber >= 2600) {
    reImb = 195.00 + (0.06 * (oneNumber - 2500));
    sumReimb += reImb; // Add reimbursement amount to total
    } // End if

    if (oneNumber <= 0) {
    outputFile.println("" + tools.padItString("*****",10," "," "));
    } else {
    outputFile.println(" " + tools.leftPad(reImb,10,"#,##0.00"," "));
    } // End second if checking milage <= 0
    } // End while


    // Print the calculations to the output file
    String summary = "\nNumber of values: " + tools.leftPad((numberOfNumbers),
    10,"#,##0.00"," ") + "\nMiles Calculated: " +
    tools.leftPad(sum,10,"#,##0.00"," ") + "\nReimbursement: "
    + tools.leftPad(sumReimb,13,"#,##0.00"," ") + "\nValues >= Zero: "
    + tools.leftPad((9),12,"#,##0.00"," ") ;
    outputFile.println(summary);

    // Close files
    outputFile.close();
    inputScanner.close();


    } // End Main
    // Method to print heading
    public static void printHeading()
    {
    System.out.println("Mileage Reimbursement Table");
    }

    } // End Class



    compiler keeps saying:
    ----jGRASP exec: javac -g Robert_Gardner_6_07.java

    Default Re: Accessing toolkit

    When posting code, please use the highlight tags and post an MCVE instead of your whole program.

    What is the Toolkit_General class? It's not in the standard Java API, so it must be a class you or your teacher created. Is it on your classpath?
