Hi I need help creating a word count file, the file should print the name and number of times the words were counted in a file. I need to use the JFileChooser and the results should be printed in the resultArea of the JTextfield.

example:

and 33
use 24

Here is what I have so far, my buttons arent working.

Any help is appreciated..

The end of the program's code is missing.

Could you explain what my buttons arent working means

I got the exit button to workwhen the program starts but when I hit the start button to do a word count on a document, it doesnt open and I get alot of errors. Here is the modifed version.
Thanks,

class WordCountListener implements ActionListener
{
                private JFileChooser chooser;
                private int retval;
                private File file;
                private BufferedReader reader;
                private TreeMap Map;

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
        //quit Button
{
if (event.getSource() == exitButton)
{
System.exit(0);
}
 else
if (event.getSource ()== startButton)
{
   if (chooser == null){
    		chooser = new JFileChooser(".");
    	}
	try{

	    if (retval == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
		file = chooser.getSelectedFile();
		reader = new BufferedReader(
		               new FileReader(file.getPath()));
            }
    }

	catch(Exception evt){
	    throw new RuntimeException("file open problem in WordReader");
    }
    }
    }



    /**
     * Read file selected at construction time and store words and
     * line numbers internally for subsequent reporting by print.
     *
     * @throws IOexception of reading file fails
     */
    void read() throws IOException
    {
	Map = new TreeMap();
	String line;
	int linecount = 0;
	while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
	    linecount++;

	    StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(line);
	    while (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()) {
		String word = tokenizer.nextToken();

		Set lineset = (Set) Map.get(word);
		if (lineset != null) {
		    lineset.add(new Integer(linecount));
		}
		else {
		    lineset = new TreeSet();
		    lineset.add(new Integer(linecount));
		    Map.put(word,lineset);
		}
	    }
	}
    }

    /**
     * Print list of words with line numbers as obtained
     * by most recent call to read.
     *
     */

    public void print()
    {
	Iterator allKeys = Map.keySet().iterator();      // each word

	while (allKeys.hasNext()) {

	    Object key =  allKeys.next();

	    resultArea.append(key + "\t");
	    Iterator lines = ((Set) Map.get(key)).iterator();
	    while (lines.hasNext()) {
		resultArea.append(lines.next() + " ");
	    }

	}
       }


}
//create the inheritance to each button
        WordCountListener buttListener = new WordCountListener();

         //create the buttons to the button panel
         exitButton.addActionListener(buttListener);
         startButton.addActionListener(buttListener);

    }
        }
        }

What can I do with a code fragment? I need a program that will compile and execute to see what the problem is.
