NEED HELP COMPILING AN APPLET AND FIXING AN ERROR

Question

Hi this is my applet that i am having a problem compiling.
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Texts2 extends Applet
     TextArea source;
     TextArea destination;
     Button copy;
     public void init()
          source = new TextArea(10,30);
          add(source);
          copy = new Button("Copy ->");
          add(copy);
          destination = new TextArea(10,30);
          add(destination);
          validate();
     public boolean action(Event evt, Object arg)
          String temp;
          if(evt.target == copy)
               temp = source.getSelectedText();
               if (destination.getText() =="")
                    destination.setText(temp);
               else
                    destination.append(temp);
}Here is the full error message after i have typed javac Texts2.java in the command prompt:
Texts2.java:34: missing return statement.
Note: Texts2.java uses or overides a deprecated API.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint deprecation for details.
1 error
What is the missing return statement?
What does Recompile with -Xlint deprecation for details mean?
How do i do this?
