Actions calling methods?

Question

Alright, so what you see below is a piece of my attempt to pop up a gui after having parsed a word file.
In this word file, there are variables being defined, and i am trying to use this code to replace some of the variables that have been hard coded into the text file
at the top of the class we have:
private static JFrame makeYourChoice;
private static Map<String, VariableDefinition> defaults;
private static List<List<VariableDefinition>> userSelected = new ArrayList<List<VariableDefinition>>();
private static List<VariableDefinition> tempListToBuildUsrSel = new ArrayList<VariableDefinition>();
the Variable definition Class pretty much contains a scope and a string
What I would like to know, is, down on the line near the bottom, where VariableDefinition vd is defined, why is it telling me that the empty constructor is undefined for the Variable Definition. It is, but I fail to see how that has any relevance since i am defining it from a Map....
Thanks for your Help,
--Russ

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm having a difficult time understanding the gist of your problem here. If you don't get a decent answer soon, I recommend several things in order to perhaps better communicate what is not working for you:
1) Create a small program that compiles and demonstrates your problem. This will necessarily mean that you will have to isolate the problem first, but this is a good thing as the isolation process often leads you to a solution. It is called creating and posting an [SSCCE.|http://sscce.org] Please see the link for further detail.
2) Use code tags to help your code retain its formatting and allow others to more easily read your code. Also spaces work better here in the forum than tabs for code indentation.
3) Don't paraphrase errors / exceptions but post the actual error messages, and
4) Go into more detail on just what your problem is.
Best of luck.
edit, as an example of code tags, check out your code when these are used:
