Code:

C:\jexp>javac employeetest2.java
employeetest2.java:57: cannot find symbol
symbol  : constructor Employee2()
location: class Employee2
                Employee2 employee = new Employee2();
                                     ^
1 error

There is no explicit constructor declared in the Employee2 class so the jvm calls the default class constructor which the jvm gives to any class without a constructor.

Code:

    // This is a method with a void return type, ie, the method
    // does not return anything to the caller.
    public void Employee2(String name, double hours, double rate)

    // This is a constructor: a special method that does not have a
    // return type int its declaration and whose name is the same as
    // its enclosing class.
    public Employee2(String name, double hours, double rate)

For more on constructors see Providing Constructors for Your Classes.
Works okay now:

Code:
