Three things to do immediately:

  1. Use code-tags as described in the 'readme first' threads
  2. Remove about 75% of the code from your post, leaving enough to show the problem
  3. Be quite specific about what the problem(s) is/are: Cut and paste the error messages.

And a forth thing to help you code: Start with a small bit of code. Get it working ("hello window" or the like). Add one thing at a time, making sure that it still works after each addition. If it fails, immediately stop adding things and fix the problem before you go on.

Something to consider: If your data members are public, why do you need setters and getters? (Hint: Think about whether they should be public.)

i have many errors that i cannot solve
