Not able to compile

[Thunthu Ganapathy]

Here is the code.
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class MouseEvents extends Applet
implements MouseListener, MouseMotionListener{
String msg="";
int mouseX = 0, mouseY = 0;
public void init() {
addMouseListener(this);
addMouseMotionListener(this);
}

public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent me) {
mouseX=0;
mouseY=10;
msg = "Mouse Clicked.";
repaint();
}

public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawString(msg, mouseX, mouseY);
}
}
Getting an error saying class MouseEvents must be declared abstract.
Could anyone throw some light on this?. Looks like the Interface is not getting implemented. How do I overcome this?.
Thanks,

Implementing MouseListener and MouseMotionListener requires that you implement a whole bunch of methods. You have implemented only one. Therefore, your class must be declared abstract (and inheriting classes will implement the rest of the methods) or you must implement the rest of the methods.

Thank you. I could compile the program after making the class abstract. While invoking through appletviwer I am getting an error saying can't be instantiated.
Could you please help me.
Thanks,

If you don't want to implement this methods, just make them empty ! If you switch to abstract class you'll be not able to instantiate it! No of abstract classes can be instantiated at all.
So , add :
public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {}
....
for each method that is abstract in both MouseListener and MouseMotionListener classes.

Yes. It worked and thank you very much.
