I cant compile and run a Java GUI program in ST 3

#1

Hi,

I’m a beginner java programmer and I’ve tried to run a program that imports following packages:

import java.io.*; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import java.swing.*; import java.swing.border.*;

But when I hit CTRL + B, I got errors like this and so on:

AddressBook.java:4: error: package java.swing does not exist import java.swing.*; ^ AddressBook.java:5: error: package java.swing.border does not exist import java.swing.border.*; ^ AddressBook.java:7: error: cannot find symbol public class AddressBook extends JFrame { ^ symbol: class JFrame AddressBook.java:21: error: cannot find symbol private JTextField jtfName = new JTextField(NAME_SIZE); ^ symbol: class JTextField location: class AddressBook

What’s the matter? How can I import those packages?

I think you just need to change it to import javax.swing.*; and import javax.swing.border.*;

Still gives the same errors. Besides, what you said is just ignoring the unrelated packages. That has nothing to do with the problem packages.

You have changed java to javax in both import statements?

Ah, I’m terribly sorry. I missed the javax difference. I did not pay much attention.

and, it certainly works now. Thanks :slight_smile:
