You closed the class definition two lines above the declaration for the
Display object.

i think i have eclipse configuration issues.
i started a brand new project and am not using all the old
settings that were correct from the other project.
i will fine tune it and it will probably run right.

sorry again,

You can't have a look outside a methode. Take a look at the Java Tutorial if
you have problems with these basic errors.
