Clock/JFrameTime.java [19:1] Clock.JFrameTime is not abstract and does not override abstract method actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent) in java.awt.event.ActionListener
public class JFrameTime extends javax.swing.JFrame implements ActionListener, ItemListener, Observer
^
1 error
I'm getting this error in a boundry class that the Sun One IDE generated for me to create a JFrame for a clock. I cant' seem to find this error anywhere on the web and it's really stumping me.
Hopefully someone out there has seen something like this before.

You are actually implementing the ActionListener interface which has "action Performed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent)" declared in it.
And when we implement any interface we will have to define the methods declared in that interface otherwise we have to declare our class as abstract.
So you will have to implement that method.

Here is the code :
It seems like there already is an action Performed method for the jButton1 which is the submit button. And it has an actionListener so it's confusing me right now.

That actionPerformed() is in an anonymous inner class, not in the JFrameTime class. The easiest way out of this mess is just to remove the "implements ActionListener" from the class declaration.
