I am a newbie java dev using netbeans IDE 7.1.1 and im watching this tutorial and right off the bat i get an error in my program even after 5 retypes to make sure its exactly the same as in the video so anyways this is the error

Error: Could not find or load main class javagame.JavaGame Java
Result: 1

and this is the code i have written

package JavaGame;

import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class JavaGame extends JFrame {

    public JavaGame(){
        setTitle("java game");
        setSize(500, 500);
        setResizable(false);
        setVisible(true);
        //setDefaultCloseOperation();

    }

    public static void main(String[] args){

    }
}

You can find in this image how my project structure looks.

If that is an exactly copy-paste from your code, then your problem is with package name. Java is case sensitive and your package name is JavaGame so the qualified name of your class is JavaGame.JavaGame whilst the exception you get says that it can not find the class javagame.JavaGame.

Rename your package using Netbeans from JavaGame to javagame. That should fix the problem.
