I'm using Textpad and basically i just want to get the keyboard to work, nothing to crazy. This is what I have so far and it comes out with two errors.

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;

public class ComputerClub

{

KeyBoard Handler = new KeyBoard();

public void init()

{

this.addKeyListener(Handler);

}

public static void main ( String [] args )

{

	System.out.println ("Sample text");

}

public class Keyboard implements KeyListener

{

public void keyTyped(KeyEvent event)

{

char a = 'a';
char b = 'b';
char c = 'c';
char d = 'd';
char e = 'e';
char f = 'f';
char g = 'g';
char h = 'h';

if(a == event.getKeyChar())

System.out.println("This is the A key");

if(b == event.getKeyChar())
	
System.out.println("This is the B key");

if(c == event.getKeyChar())

System.out.println("This is the C key");

if(d == event.getKeyChar())

System.out.println("This is the D key");

System.out.println("This is the E key");

if(f == event.getKeyChar())

System.out.println("This is the F key");

if(g == event.getKeyChar())

System.out.println("This is the G key");

if(h == event.getKeyChar())

System.out.println("This is the H key");

if(i == event.getKeyChar())

System.out.println("This is the I key");

if(j == event.getKeyChar())

System.out.println("This is the J key");

if(k == event.getKeyChar())

System.out.println("This is the K key");

if(l == event.getKeyChar())

System.out.println("This is the L key");

if(m == event.getKeyChar())

System.out.println("This is the M key");

if(n == event.getKeyChar())

System.out.println("This is the N key");

if(o == event.getKeyChar())

System.out.println("This is the O key");

if(p == event.getKeyChar())

System.out.println("This is the P key");

if(q == event.getKeyChar())

System.out.println("This is the Q key");

if(r == event.getKeyChar())

System.out.println("This is the R key");

if(s == event.getKeyChar())

System.out.println("This is the S key");

if(t == event.getKeyChar())

System.out.println("This is the T key");

if(u == event.getKeyChar())

System.out.println("This is the U key");

if(v == event.getKeyChar())

System.out.println("This is the V key");

if(w == event.getKeyChar())

System.out.println("This is the W key");

if(x == event.getKeyChar())

System.out.println("This is the X key");

if(y == event.getKeyChar())

System.out.println("This is the Y key");

if(z == event.getKeyChar())

System.out.println("This is the Z key");

}

public void keyPressed(KeyEvent event)

{


}

public void keyReleased(KeyEvent event)

{

}

}

}

And the two errors I get are...

Uhh, long... Find a working example on how to access keyboard in Java (example in http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=698156 should work) and modify it to fit your needs. At the moment the error means that such class as Keyboard does not exists, but I am not a regular Java user so I can't tell you precisely what you should do instead of using it. But I can tell you that don't have to so long code for doing just what you want. Something like this instead of the long definitions of char a='a' etc is sufficient.

  if(event.getKeyChar()>='a' && event.getKeyChar()<='z') {
    System.out.println("This is the "+event.getKeyChar()+" key");    
  }
