Java compiling Error

**BatchBat** · 07-08-2012, 08:23 PM

Hello all,

While compiling a mod for Minecraft, I get this error:

Java Code:

 mod_CerealMod.java:4: error: illegal start of expression
public staticfinal Item CEREAL = (new ItemFood(, 20, 100f, false)).setItemName("CEREAL").setIconIndex(ModLoader.addOverride("/gui/items.png"' "CEREAL.png"));
                                                                                                                                                                               ^
mod_CerealMod.java:5: error: illegal start of expression
public static final Item SPOON = (new ItemSpade(, EnumToolMaterial.WOOD))setIte
mName("SPOON").setIconIndex(ModLoader.addOverride(gui/items.png", "/SPOON.png"
));
                                                                  ^
2 errors

This is copied from the javac.exe window that pops up after I run the following batch script:

Java Code:

 @echo off
echo Before running, make sure you have Java JDK installed.
echo.
echo In addition, make sure you have modified this .bat to compile your .java file.
echo Continue?
PAUSE
REM Insert name of .java file after the =
set javafile=mod_CerealMod.java
start C:\PROGRA~1\java\jdk1.7.0_05\bin\javac.exe %javafile%
PAUSE

EDIT: No idea why batch file code is now java code... disregard that

The error is generated from compiling the following .java code:

Java Code:

 package net.minecraft.src;
import java.util.Random;
public class mod_CerealMod extends BaseMod {
public static final Item CEREAL = (new ItemFood(, 20, 100f, false)).setItemName("CEREAL").setIconIndex(ModLoader.addOverride("/gui/items.png", "/CEREAL.png"));
public static final Item SPOON = (new ItemSpade(, EnumToolMaterial.WOOD)).setItemName("SPOON").setIconIndex(ModLoader.addOverride("/gui/items.png", "/SPOON.png"));


public String getVersion() {
return "1";}
public void load() {
ModLoader.addName(CEREAL, "CEREAL");
ModLoader.addName(SPOON, "SPOON");
ModLoader.addRecipe(new ItemStack(mod_CerealMod.CEREAL, 1), new Object[] {"012", "345", "678", Character.valueOf('0'), item.wheat, Character.valueOf('1'), mod_CerealMod.SPOON, Character.valueOf('2'), item.wheat, Character.valueOf('3'), item.wheat, Character.valueOf('4'), Item.bucketMilk, Character.valueOf('5'), item.wheat, Character.valueOf('6'), item.sugar, Character.valueOf('7'), Item.bowlEmpty, Character.valueOf('8'), item.sugar});
ModLoader.addRecipe(new ItemStack(mod_CerealMod.SPOON, 1), new Object[] {"0 2", "345", " 7 ", Character.valueOf('0'), Block.planks, Character.valueOf('2'), Block.planks, Character.valueOf('3'), Block.planks, Character.valueOf('4'), Block.planks, Character.valueOf('5'), Block.planks, Character.valueOf('7'), item.stick});
}
public void GenerateSurface(World world, Random random, int i, int j) {




}private void addSmelting(Block block, ItemStack is) {
ModLoader.addSmelting(block.blockID, is); }
private void addSmelting(Item item, ItemStack is) {
ModLoader.addSmelting(item.shiftedIndex, is); }
private ItemStack getIS(Item item, int amount) {
return new ItemStack(item, amount); }
private ItemStack getIS(Block block, int amount) {
return new ItemStack(block, amount); }
}

TL;DR ME JAVA NO COMPILED D:

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!

The code actually was generated by a program, not by hand. There probably is a faulty generation code. I'll go see if any other program will work.
You can close this thread if necessary.
