newbie java programming applet issue
hello
i am a student taking an intro to OOP course using java- the course only offers support for windows. i have textMate and blue J as java editing environments. i have successfully managed a few lessons but now i am having trouble with applets. my applet source code will run in blue j but not in textmate and i think the reason has to do with the applet extension. first when i run the program successfully in blue jay it utilizes the sun.applet.main environment to display the applets output. but in textmate the identical code generates an error which i finally have a some information about why?
the error in textmate reads
:exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main
i am not sure whether this has to do with the import java.awt.*: or just the public void paint(Graphics g) method (code Below)
the eventual intended output of the applet is to a web browser via an html document which calls the java applet but when i run this html document both firefox and safari display blank pages.
i am on macpro with the latest java version - just downloaded last week
is there some unique import statement to utilize import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*; in mac os or ???
BTW the smile.gif is in the project folder with the java document
thanks for any help
