Unable to resolve 'class' or 'interface' expected compile error

Question

Any help would be appreciated - I can't resolve the following compile errors:
E:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin\RandomApp3\src\RandomApp3.java:85: 'class' or 'interface' expected private void initComponents() {
E:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin\RandomApp3\src\RandomApp3.java:97: 'class' or 'interface' expected }
E:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin\RandomApp3\src\RandomApp3.java:97: 'class' or 'interface' expected }
3 errors
here is the source:

public RandInt(int endInt) {
int randNum;
int range;
int[] lottery = new int[5];
for (int x = 0; x <=49; x++) {
range = (int) (Math.floor(Math.random()*5 + 1));
lottery[range]++;

Re-posted with code tags. This may show that there is an extra } just before initComponents()
public class RandomApp3 extends javax.swing.JApplet {
public RandomApp3() {
public static void main(String args[]) {

int range;
int[] lottery = new int[5];
for (int x = 0; x <=49; x++) {
range = (int) (Math.floor(Math.random()*5 + 1));
lottery[range]++;
