.class expected error

Question

I am consistently recieving an error message that says ".class expected" on the "Easter date = new Easter (int year);" line every time i try to compile my tester class. Can anyone help me figure out the problem? Here is my tester/driver class:
* Tester Class
* Ben Mathews
* September 13th, 2009
public class EasterTester
public static void main (String [ ] arg)
Easter date = new Easter (int year );
date.calculate ();
}// end main
}// end Easter

When you post code, click on "CODE" to generate code tags and paste your code between the tags. Then it will look like this, which will help you get help. /*

public class EasterTester
     public static void main (String [ ] arg)
          Easter date = new Easter (int year );
          date.calculate ();
     }// end main
}// end Easter When you define a constructor (or a method) with a parameter, you have to tell the compiler what type that parameter is, for example //a constructor example
public Easter(int year) But, when you use a constructor (or method) with a parameter, you just put in the value or variable, for example int year = 1999;
Easter date = new Easter (year);
