Need help with Java! Build successful, but program not running

[charmcity04]

I am creating an program that allows a user to register for a conference. When I press the "Run" button in Netbeans I get a message saying "Build Successful," but the program does not show up on the screen. What am I missing in my code? I am new to Java so I could use all the help I can get. Thanks!

When the java command executes a class,it calls the class's main() method which is responsibe for starting the execution of the rest of the class. You main() metjhod is empty. You need to add some code to it that will call the methods to create the GUI and start things executing.

There are many thing you need to study before trying to write a GUI program. Take a look at this tutorial:

Am I supposed to use something like this in the main method:

init;
start;

That gives me an error. I read over the site you posted, but am still lost.
