Question

I am not sure why is it giving this error. Braces seem to be right. Another thing is that the same program works in Windows-eclipse but not in eclipse for Mac. What could be the reason?

import java.util.Vector;

public class Debug 
{
    private int something = 0;
    private Vector list = new Vector();

    public void firstMethod()
    {
        thirdMethod(something);
        something = something + 1;
    }
    public void secondMethod()
    {
        thirdMethod(something);
        something = something + 2;
    }
    public void thirdMethod(int value)
    {
        something = something + value;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Debug debug = new Debug();
        debug.firstMethod();
        debug.secondMethod();
    }
}

Ah, ok – it’s probably a control-Z or other unprintable character at the end of the file that is ignored in Windows but not on the Mac. You copied the source from Windows to the Mac. Delete the last few characters and re-enter them – I think it will go away. I don’t do Mac, though – I’m just guessing.
