Swing is so 1990s, it's all about SWT these days

Can I suggest "Programming with JAVA" by Holmes as your next purchase?

LOL! or for cheapness just working though some of the basic Java tutorials available free at java.sun.com? They even use applets.. That way you'll get the hang of native types, object types and variable scoping, thus avoiding most of the errors made above

As an aside - who is teaching you Java so *badly* anyhow?

I always found books to be better for learning, as it meant I had to type each line out and understand it.

Copy & Paste is lazy

OOP takes about a day to learn. Learning the fucking demented ways various languages implement it takes years.
