Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:

It looks like you're trying to run this code from an IDE, as that's not actually a compiler error. What error do you get when you compile the program, not when you try to run it?

Also, please use the code tags when posting code, which should be in the form of an SSCCE.

i got it corrected.the reason was i ddnt give the command line arguements.in eclipse i ddnt know how to give that.Now i found out that.

That doesn't really make sense. The error in your first post mentions a compilation error. That means your IDE was unable to compile your code, which means it wasn't able to run it. Command line arguments don't come into play until after the program is running.

Chances are you fixed the compilation error without realizing it, and your command line arguments were a separate issue.
