Hey I have this program:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.sql.Connection;
import javax.swing.*;
 
public class Telephone {
	
	public Telephone()
	{
		JPanel speakerPanel = new JPanel();	// creats the speakerPanel
		speakerPanel.setLayout(new BorderLayout()); // sets the layout for the speakerPanel
		speakerPanel.add(new JLabel("Speaker:"), BorderLayout.NORTH);
		JTextArea speakerField = new JTextArea(10, 25);
		speakerField.add(speakerField, BorderLayout.CENTER);
		String keyLabels = "123456789*0#";
		JPanel keyPanel = new JPanel();
		keyPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(4, 3));
		for(int i=0; i< keyLabels.length(); i++)
		{
			final String label = keyLabels.substring(i, i+1);
			JButton keyButton = new JButton(label);
			keyPanel.add(keyButton);
			keyButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
			{
				public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) 
				{
					connect.dial(label);
				}
			});
			
		}
		
		final JTextArea microphoneField = new JTextArea(10, 25);
		JButton speechButton = new JButton("Send Speech");
		speechButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
		{

			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) 
			{
				connect.record(microphoneField.getText());
				microphoneField.setText("");
			}
		});
		
		JButton hangupButton = new JButton("hangup");
		hangupButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
		{
			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
			{
				connect.hangup();				
			}
		});
		
		JPanel buttonPanel = new JPanel();
		buttonPanel.add(speechButton);
		buttonPanel.add(hangupButton);
		
		JPanel microphonePanel = new JPanel();
		microphonePanel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
		microphonePanel.add(new JLabel("Microphone:"), BorderLayout.NORTH);
		microphonePanel.add(microphoneField, BorderLayout.CENTER);
		microphonePanel.add(buttonPanel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
		
		JFrame frame = new JFrame();
		frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		frame.add(speakerPanel, BorderLayout.NORTH);
		frame.add(keyPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
		frame.add(microphonePanel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
		
		frame.pack();
		frame.setVisible(true);
	}
	
	public void speak(String output)
	{
		speakerField.setText(output);
	}
	
	public void run(Connection c)
	{
		connect = c;
	}
	
	private JTextArea speakerField;
	private Connection connect;
	
}

And I get the fail in the as in the topic, I think I know what the problems is.
is it not that i need something like a main method to make it run:

public static void main(String[] args)

but where to put the method and what to write I'm not certain about, should I put the entire program in the main method ? or something else

When I compiled I got 3 errors.But anyway.

You can create a new class called TelephoneTest or something.
You can put there the main method and just initiate a telephone object.

Telephone t1=new Telephone();

Since all your code is in the constructor of Telephone class.
Make sure you place the new class in the same directory.

at get an error on;

	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) 
	{
		   connect.dial(label);  
	}

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) 
			{
				connect.record(microphoneField.getText());
				microphoneField.setText("");
			}

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)

Can anyone plz tell me why the connect.dial won't compile, I simply can't finde the error

[AbuJaFaR]

I cant find any method dial or record or hangup.
I dont know where did you find them.

I also thinks that is the problem, they just occur in the example I'm programming after

[Dophert]

You don't have a main method. You need a

public static void main(String[] argsv)

Like you said yourself.

thanks now I'm down on three errors:
connect.dial
connect.recorde
connect.hangup
I think that I'll just have to ask my instructor yet I thinks it is strange that they put an example in the book that doesn't work
