Question

this is the snippet that produces an error saying :

')' expected
';' expected
not a statement
cannot find symbol
symbol : variable ActionEvent

The snippet :

private void jMenuItem5ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
    JFileChooser chooseToAdd = new JFileChooser();
    int option = chooseToAdd.showOpenDialog(this);
    if( option == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION ) {
        nameOfAudioFile = chooseToAdd.getSelectedFile().getAbsolutePath();
        //clonejTree1ValueChanged( TreeSelectionEvent evt );
        tester(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt);
    }
}

private void tester(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
    System.out.println("tester");
}

Is there any syntax error ?

Answer 1

This line is wrong:

tester(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt);

Here you should pass an object of the type ActionEvent.

So it should be something like this:

tester(evt);
