Cannot Get .Java File to Compile

Question

This is more than likely the dumbest sounding problem most of you will have ever heard of, but after three days of attempting to fix this myself, I have gotten no where.

I am working on an older project, it works fine, but I need to upgrade it an add some functionality.

After adding some to it, I tried to compile to debug my code and see how it is working. Using NetBeans, the code compiled fine. It said build successful, and listed no errors. However, when I choose to debug, JAVA initializes, then nothing happens. It should show a form that is used for interaction. I tried using run instead. Java initializes like debug, then I get an error, unable to load resource ..... /projectname.java

From what I can tell, no .jar file is ever being created.

I have tried moving the file to a different location, using Eclipse, creating a completely new version of it and copy and pasting the code, and I have had no luck.

If any one has any ideas of configuration changes I may need to make to fix this or any other ideas, I would appreciate it.

Definitely strange that a fresh rewrite using Eclipse/Netbeans didn't work.

I can't speak for Netbeans but with Eclipse how are you creating a fresh project? Are you able to run a simple "hello world" code in Eclipse?

It ended up being something in the configuration settings for the project. The way it was compiling was wrong. Since it was a web start application, there is a specific configuration needed. Honestly, I did the worst resolution possible. I just started clicking stuff and trying it out. I can't tell you what it was that did the trick, but it works now. Yep, worst solution ever to worst question ever.
