java - Identifier expected in an ActionListener -

i compiled code , got error:

c:\users\rj\desktop>javac  windowtest.java windowtest.java:17: error: <identifier> expected         click.addactionlistener(new actionlistener(){                                ^ windowtest.java:22: error: ';' expected           });            ^ 2 errors 

i still new java , appreciate examples and/or step step explanations. if move override error saying didn't override. code is:

import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.jframe; import javax.swing.*; import java.util.scanner;   public class windowtest extends jframe implements actionlistener{ public static void main(string args[]){     jframe frame = new jframe();     jlabel label = new jlabel("this test.");         jbutton click = new jbutton("test");     jpanel buttonpan = new jpanel();     jpanel textpan = new jpanel();     final jtextfield textin = new jtextfield();     @override     click.addactionlistener(new actionlistener(){           public void actionperformed(actionevent e){         string text = textin.gettext();         system.out.println(text);         }       });     buttonpan.setsize(100, 100);     textin.setpreferredsize(new dimension(700, 48));     textpan.add(textin);     buttonpan.add(click);     frame.setdefaultcloseoperation(jframe.exit_on_close);         frame.setsize(800, 700);     frame.setlocationrelativeto(null);     frame.setlayout(new borderlayout());         label.sethorizontalalignment(jlabel.center);         label.setverticalalignment(jlabel.center);         frame.add(label, borderlayout.north);     frame.add(buttonpan, borderlayout.south);     frame.add(textpan, borderlayout.center);     frame.setvisible(true);     frame.settitle("window test");        }     } 

first problem, need move @override down, because annotation applies method definition, inside anonymous class.

click.addactionlistener(new actionlistener(){       @override public void actionperformed(actionevent e){     string text = textin.gettext();     system.out.println(text);     }   }); 

second problem, windowtest class claims it implements actionlistener not implement actionperformed. since not seem need it, can remove in declaration.

public class windowtest extends jframe{ ... } 

with these 2 changes, application compile , run.
