Problems implementing abstract classes

Question

hello.
this is james mcfadden. I am developing a multiplayer BlackJack card game in Java. the game consists of three programs: BlackJack.java, BlackJackServer.java and BlackJackClient.java (three 3 programs are shown below). i don't know how to implement abstract classes. i am trying to get the BlackJack.java program working with the BlackJackServer.java program. there should be "extends BlackJackServer" somewhere in the BlackJack.java program, but i don't know where.
import javax.swing.*;
public class BlackJack extends JPanel{
   public BlackJack(){
      //FlowLayout is default layout manager for a JPanel
      add(new JButton("Hit"));
      add(new JButton("Stay"));
      add(new JButton("New Game"));
   public static void main(String[] args){
      JFrame frame=new JFrame("BlackJack");
      frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
      frame.setSize(500,500);
      frame.setLocation(200,200);
      BlackJack bj=new BlackJack();
      frame.setContentPane(bj);
      frame.setVisible(true);

Answer 1

there should be "extends BlackJackServer" somewhere in the BlackJack.java programI very much doubt that.
It's possible you might need to create a BlackJackServer object or something like that. But I don't see the point in subclassing it.
