No... there is no need of a ; after the keyword new - its actually one line of code so the semicolon is needed at the end of the parentheses ie
JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
The keyword new is used to create an object instance.

I now very little about Java and only know what I learned from my class, but near the beginning of the program with

'// create JTabbedPane
JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new
JTabbedPane(); '

Is it supposed to be

// create JTabbedPane
JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new;
JTabbedPane();


Maybe?? All I did was add a ';' to the end of the second line on that piece.

I know almost nothing about Java, but I know THAT's not correct. Time to take that class again, Jasonjas? :-)

Rarveen: have you visted the publisher's website yet, and looked for errata to the book?
