Yes you can't call the pack() within the static contest. Actually you should do it within the previously constructed frame. No need to do it here, and you can't do it also.

This actually has little to do with Swing and everything to do with understanding and respecting the differences between the static world and the non-static or instance world -- a cornerstone of OOPS programming. I suggest you read up on this including this series of tutorials from Sun: Lesson: Object-Oriented Programming Concepts.

Good luck.
