Filename: DiceGame2.java
Purpose: Java program that lets the player roll 5 normal 6 sided die.
The player gets to choose which of the die to keep or which to reroll - explains it in messages to the player.
Reroll the selected die not kept. Multiply any duplicate die's together add the total and display the result.
have some way for them to quit the game or to keep all 5 after a roll. I have not started the multiplication yet just trying to get the the dice to roll and be saved through the checkboxes.

You haven't stated what you are having trouble with.
Aside: I'd recommend changing your indentation to no more than 4 spaces and use it consistently. You've got code pushed all over the place there.

Sorry about the mess when I pasted code it moved it all around. I thought I had fixed. Anyway my problem is I need to call the method RollTheDice when the player starts the game and clicks rollDice and when they choose re-roll all. When I try to compile the program it gives me several errors. illegal start of expression : public static void RollTheDice(),and my public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) has errors says it needs a ; which I imagine is from the earlier error. Any help would be appreciated.
