I'm trying to implement an inner class, however, I'm a bit stuck...
:confused:

TalkingClock.java
package homenetwork.bkr.training;

import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.awt.event.*; //required for ActionListener
import java.util.Date;

import javax.swing.Timer;   

public class TalkingClock {
	/** A talking clock
	 * @param interval: the interval between messages (milliseconds)
	 * @param beep: true if the clock should beep 
	 */
	public TalkingClock (int interval, boolean beep)
	{
		this.interval = interval;
		this.beep = beep;
	}
	
	/** 
	 * Starts the clock
	 */
	public void start() {
		ActionListener listener = new TimePrinter(); //error: ActionListener cannot be resolved
		Timer t = new Timer(interval, listener);
		t.start();
	}
	
	//the inner class
	public class TimePrinter implements ActionListener {
		
		public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent event)
		{
			Date now = new Date();
			System.out.println("At the tone, the time is: " + now);
			if (beep) Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep();
			
		}
	}
	
	private int interval; //this is interval
	private boolean beep; //this is beep
} 



Test.java
package homenetwork.bkr.training;

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class Test {

	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		TalkingClock clock = new TalkingClock(1000,true);
		clock.start();
		
		//keep program running until user selects "OK"
		JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Quit Program?");
		System.exit(0);
	}

}

Compilation errors:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems:
interval cannot be resolved or is not a field
beep cannot be resolved or is not a field
interval cannot be resolved
Syntax error, insert "}" to complete ClassBody

Seems like an Eclipse "freak", now it's running.
