Question

I’m trying to use java.awt for graphics, which is what I used to use, but I’m getting a weird error.

Netbeans says it can’t find the Drawable class. I would check all my old code from when I used to use Java but it’s on a dead laptop. I have the JDK and Netbeans Java SE downloaded, and as far as I can remember I never had to download anything else. Any idea on what the problem is?

Here’s the code:

    import java.awt.*;

    public class Ball implements Drawable {
    }

Btw the error is “cannot find symbol, symbol: class Drawable”, not that I haven’t implemented the draw method yet.

Answer 1

There is no Interface/Class Drawable in awt:
