Class Wasn't Found in Project

[BrooksyFC]

Here is my code:

/*
 *  <applet code="ImageViewer" width=200 height=200>
 *  <param name="img" value="Snow.jpg">
 *  </applet>
 */
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;

public class ImageViewer extends Applet
{
 Image img;
 
 public void init() {
     img = getImage(getDocumentBase(), getParameter("img"));
 }
 
 public void paint(Graphics g) {
     g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, this);
 }
}

Any ideas?

I've moved this to the Applets forum, as it appears you're trying to run an applet.

How are you trying to run it? What's the actual error message you receive?

[BrooksyFC]

I'm basically trying to display an image. I'm using a code from a Java book. I'm using Netbeanz.

I run the code and I get

Image Viewer class wasn't found in ImageViewer project

Select the main class:
<No main classes found>

[KevinWorkman]

Does it actually say Image Viewer, with a space?

[BrooksyFC]

No, sorry

It says: ImageViewer class wasn't found in ImageViewer project

Then I suppose this is actually a netbeans question, so I'll move the thread again. I suggest googling something like "netbeans class wasn't found in project". Better yet, ditch your IDE altogether and just compile by the command prompt until you're more familiar with the basics.

[BrooksyFC]

I'm not too familiar with using the command.

Now's your chance to become acquainted: "Hello World!" for Microsoft Windows (The Java™ Tutorials > Getting Started > The "Hello World!" Application)

[BrooksyFC]

Right, I've done that tutorial. So should I try and code I posted before and do that with the command?

It's up to you. I don't know anything about netbeans, so I've given you several options. You can wait here for somebody to get back to you. You can google the error for more info. Or you could take netbeans out of the equation and compile your classes directly, which is probably what you should be doing anyway, IMHO. Up to you though.

[BrooksyFC]

I'll give it a try. In the mean time I'll see anyone else has another suggestion

You can't run the code directly.
I can't remember, but does Netbeans have an applet viewer built in?

[DarrylBurke]

NetBeans runs an Applet class in the AppletViewer that comes with the JDK. But not by selecting 'Run' for the project.

I was going to post a step-by-step of the three ways to run an Applet in NetBeans, but I found that it's more than adequately documented in the online help, so there was no valid reason for this to be asked on a forum.

Ever tried pressing F1?

[BrooksyFC]

I've press F1, what am I looking for in here?

[Tolls]

How about "running an applet"?
That's what you're trying to do...not run a java application.
