Answer 1

Stopper is quite correct. You are missing the things Stopper noted.
To trouble shoot such code use your compiler output or a decent IDE like Eclipse or JBuilder which will auto compile and highlight your errors quickly.
You can clean up your method code by adding the variable defnition and initialization code mentioned at the beginning of the method.
