It is most likely a focus issue. Read the tutorial on writing key listeners: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/events/keylistener.html

Because a version of the xerces parser ships with the JDK and is used as the default DocumentBuilderFactory if you haven't registered a different one.

Did you not have a "xerces.jar" file as well? From the online docs it looks like you should, but perhaps "xercesImpl.jar" has replaced that.

You need to add the jar files for those libraries to your project properties. In the Project Propteries window, select Libraries and add those jars in the Compile section.

Netbeans does allow you to work in GridBagLayout (or several others) from the designer if you set it yourself. It defaults to GroupLayout though, which is hideous to read.

If there isn't any behavior of Thread that you need to alter by subclassing, why would you extend Thread? That's what they are saying here. If you can't point to an advantage in your code to extend...

The computer makers themselves are pushing the consumer market towards the 64 bit environment faster as they compete with one another. Having more ram is a selling point and we're marching right past...

You can go up to nearly 4GB with the 32-bit, so you still have room to nearly double your current ram before you would need 64-bit addressing.

Here's a small example that may be of some help. I've commented the relevant sections

The problem is that all of that code is executing on (and holding up) the event queue, which is also responsible for repainting. You need to split that code off into a separate thread that calls for...

The code fragment that you posted would only result in a single instance of the panel and should behave exactly as you want it to. The part I don't follow is that you say the panel is a class member...

Well, since it's difficult to see over your shoulder, perhaps you should post the current version of the code.

Did you change the =="n" to equals("n") as Sciwizeh mentioned?

Ok congratulations, you've demonstrated that you can paste your homework. Do you have any specific questions? Anything at all to show that you have given this the least bit of thought?

You have to cast the Object to Integer if you want to assign it to the array.keys_Array[i] = (Integer)unsorted.get(random.nextInt(100));Using generics to type your collections would avoid that.

for(int i=0;i<100;i++){
keys_Array[i] = unsorted.get( random.nextInt(100) );
}Note that get() is used if 'unsorted' is an arraylist and not an array.

You can also use Random.nextInt(int) (http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Random.html#nextInt(int)) for the random int.

Keep in mind that the suggestions tendered so far will allow the...

I see that you have solved this part already, but I thought I would add a couple of examples of different designs you can use for that.

This one uses a small listener class that takes the list you...

Just a note: it's preferable to override paintComponent() in most cases instead of paint(), since paint() is also responsible to painting children and the border....

That's because you moved the code into the anonymous listener. If you aren't going to define that method on your class then remove the "implements ActionListener" from your class declaration.

In your Netbeans installation directory, go to "etc/netbeans.conf". There you will find an entry for "netbeans_jdkhome".

Well, looking at that brace on line 64, your code to add the listener is not in a method at all. So you've left out some other code in your post or that piece above won't even compile.

The literal value of a float in your code would be "6.0f", but printed output does not show that "f" unless you put it there explicitly.

Your output is perfectly fine.

Are you expecting it to print the "f"? Doubles and floats don't look any different as output.

Maybe you want to reverse line 23?

That isn't Java code. Perhaps you meant to post this in another forum?

(Yes, the HTML page source is just marked up text)

Give it a quick try and you'd have a definitive answer. :)

You can start with Reading Text From A URL (http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/java.net/ReadFromURL.html) and Regular Expressions (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/regex/).

My suggestion: learn how to type and communicate effectively. It will serve you well.

I think you are correct that the behavior did stem from some blocking, but this can still be simplified a great deal to work without a separate listening thread.

Here's a re-wired version of the...

The problem is that all of your code, including the thread.sleep() calls, are executing on the AWT event queue thread, which is the same thread that handles the repaint calls to update the display....

It all comes down to the details of "changing the look". Some things are trivial, others are quite complicated. You asked a very general question.
