new window within a program...

[Brandi Love]

Forgive me, I'm new at this gui stuff with java.
What I'm trying to do with this code is to create a new window (that is what the FileButtonHandler class is for) when the file button is clicked with a couple of entry fields and some buttons. The problem is that, when I compile, I get this error message for each of the objects I've created withing the FileButtonHandler class:
C:\brandijava\IncomeAnalysis.java:88: illegal start of expression
private JLabel annualIncomeLabel
Anyone have any idea how I might fix this so that the program will compile and I can get the window to pop up?

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.*;
public class IncomeAnalysis extends JFrame
{
private JFrame mainFrame;
private JButton file;
private JButton reports;
private JButton help;
private JButton exit;
private JButton data;
private JButton about;
private JButton aboveAverage;
private JButton poverty;
public IncomeAnalysis()
{
mainFrame = new JFrame("Income Survey Analysis");
file = new JButton("File");
reports = new JButton("Reports");
help = new JButton("Help");
exit = new JButton("Exit");
data = new JButton("Data");
about = new JButton("About");
aboveAverage = new JButton("Above Average");
poverty = new JButton("Poverty");
Container c = mainFrame.getContentPane();
c.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
c.setBackground(Color.pink);
c.setForeground(Color.red);
c.add(file);
c.add(reports);
c.add(help);
c.add(exit);
c.add(data);
c.add(about);
c.add(aboveAverage);
c.add(poverty);
file.setMnemonic('f');
reports.setMnemonic('r');
help.setMnemonic('h');
exit.setMnemonic('x');

mainFrame.setSize(250,125);
mainFrame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter()
{
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {System.exit(0);}
});
ExitButtonHandler ehandler = new ExitButtonHandler();
exit.addActionListener(ehandler);
mainFrame.show();
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
IncomeAnalysis app;
app = new IncomeAnalysis();
}
class ExitButtonHandler implements ActionListener
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
System.exit(0);
}
}

annualIncomeLabel = new JLabel("Enter the annual income for the family:");
numInFamLabel = new JLabel("How many people are there in the family?");
annualIncome = new JTextField(5);
numInFam = new JTextField(5);
enterButton = new JButton("Save entry");
clearButton = new JButton("Clear all");
exit button = new exitButton("close");
container d = mainFrame.getContentPane();
c.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
c.add(annualIncomeLabel);
c.add(annualIncome);
c.add(numInFamLabel);
c.add(numInFam);
c.add(enterButton);
c.add(clearButton);
c.add(exitButton);
enterButton.setMnemonic('e');
clearButton.setMnemonic('c');
exitButton.setMnemonic('x');
mainFrame.setSize(350,200);
}
}
}

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
private JLabel annualIncomeLabel;

"private" can only be applied to member variables, not local variables declared inside a method.

[Brandi Love]

Should they be declared as public? I tried that and it didn't work.

[Jose Botella]

Local variables cannot have access specifiers. They are not going to be accessed from outside the method.
