Having trouble on figuring out why line 15 says illegal start of expression.

public class Craps {

	public static void main(String[] args) {

		int dice1 = (int)(Math.random()* 6) + 1;

		int dice2 = (int)(Math.random()* 6) + 1;

		int roll = dice1 + dice2;

		System.out.println();

		System.out.print("You rolled " + roll + ". ");

		public void diceroll(int roll,int dice1,int dice2) {


			if(roll == 2 || roll == 3 || roll == 12) {

				System.out.println("You Lose !");

				}

				else if(roll == 7 || roll == 11) {

				System.out.println("You Win !");

				}

				else {

			System.out.println("Point is "+roll+"\n");

			dice1 = (int)(Math.random()* 6) + 1;

			dice2 = (int)(Math.random()* 6) + 1;

			int roll2 = dice1 + dice2;

			System.out.print("You rolled "+ roll2 +". ");

			while (roll2 != 7) {

				if(roll == roll2){

				System.out.println("You Win !");

				break;

				}

				else {

				System.out.println("Point is "+roll+"\n");

				}

			dice1 = (int)(Math.random()* 6) + 1;

			dice2 = (int)(Math.random()* 6) + 1;

			roll2 = dice1 + dice2;

			System.out.print("You rolled "+roll2+". ");

			}

			if(roll2 == 7) {

				System.out.println("You Lose !");

			}

		}
	}

The Java compiler is not expecting a method definition, within another method. Interestingly, this is not a case of mis-matched parens -- it looks like from the indents that you intended to do that (to define a method within a method).

Question is why?
