Need help with coding: getting an error

Question

Hi there everyone, this would be my first post here, and my first post on any forum related to programming. Im taking a highschool computer science course, in which we are learning J2SE. I have read ahead a bit, and am having trouble with the following program:
//=============================================================================
//Converts US Dollars To Euros
//=============================================================================
public class currencyconverter1
     private Double dollarRate = 1.00000;
     private Double conversionRate = 1.22990;
     private Double dollarAmount = 0.0;
     private Double euroAmount = 0.0;
          public static void main convert Double(euroAmount)
               dollarAmount = euroAmount*conversionRate;
               System.out.println(dollarAmount);
               return euroAmount
               }JCreator is telling me I need a '(' on the "main" line. I simply cannot find where this is needed. Can anyone help, or recommend another forum where I may find some help? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply... I tested out your code, and it didn't compile, so after playing with it, heres what I got to compile (please read past the code):
public class currencyconverter1
     private Double dollarRate = 1.00000;
     private Double conversionRate = 1.22990;
     private Double dollarAmount = 0.0;
     private Double euroAmount = 0.0;
     public Double convert (Double euroAmount)
          dollarAmount = euroAmount * conversionRate;
          System.out.println(dollarAmount);
          return euroAmount;
}It gives me the following message when I execute the .exe: "Exception in thread "main" Java.Lang.NoSuchMethodError: Main" ....
Does anyone know what the deal is and can explain wnat my source code error is? Thanks again in advance.
