hey guys...in netbeans5.5 i did the following:

I opened a new project and I added a new JFrame. after making the design, I added in the source the class Student in addition to the class NewJframe that alreay is templated. however, it gave me an error because class Student should be in a java file. I put it in a java file and i packaged it then i imported the package into the source code where NewJFrame class exists. The error is now "Package does not exist"

how to deal with this pblm???

Is the package in the library folder of the compiler and netbeans? You don't necessarily need to make a package of it. As long as it is in the same folder as the frame source.
I don't know netbeans and only used eclipse as editor, so my experience in that respect is quite limited. Eclipse can link java files together if they are in the same folder.

yes man they r in the same folder and now it worked :)

u r right no packaging is needed .. they are linked

may i ask u about the colors? i mean i wanna display buttons and panels in blue or red...what is the command for it??

thanks

See the following methods:
JComponent.setBackground
JComponent.setForeground
The actual coding should be easy enough.
