Also, make a class called Inventory with methods like total(), toString() and sort().

Further to Stefan's comments, variables like gameNumber and gameName should be called number and name respectively. They are defined in a class called Game so there is little need for the game prefix.

I would like to create a method that takes two arguments where "BookTitle", "Author", or "Publisher" can be the first argument and "TheLordOfTheRings", "Tolkien", or "DelRey" can be the second argument.

And how would the method know what is being passed? Not the correct approach IMO, separate methods (as suggested by Fred) is the way to go.

That is awful code. The only sensibly named variable is called line which ironically is never used. Like Campbell says, where did you find it?

Your implementation of toString changes every time you post. It is very difficult to help you. Your current implementation means you need to override toString in the Conto class, assuming this is what you actually want.

Can you please post the entire Client class?

It sounds like what you need are profiles: http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-profiles.html

but one thing that students of software engineering have that those (for the most part)who are self taught do not have is the sheer in depth academic understanding of scientific and engineering principals. These skills are essential for being a successful software engineer.

I don't agree with this statement at all. Some of the best programmers I have come across have a background or degree in English/art/photography. It is true that you need a degree to get a decent software role these days but simply having one doesn't make you a good programmer. Possessing traits like determination and perseverance will also help you succeed because without a doubt, there are days when these help you through more than intelligence.

but I have three database table columns that are used for the date when the vehicle was sold, "MonthofSale", "DayOfSale", and "YearOfSale."

Mapping aside, why do you have 3 database table columns to represent a single date? This should be a single column of type DATE.

The error is nothing to do with loops.

You have declared the variable first in your main method:
stock first = new stock();

The error you are receiving is in the addstock method:
int b; b = first.wanted;

The compiler is telling you it cannot find the variable first as it has not been declared locally. I suspect you want to use the one declared in main but you can't as it is local to that method.

Have you tried
SSLFTPClient.setType(FTPTransferType.ASCII);
before you get the file?

Could you please post the exact error message you are receiving?

I assume you mean jar file and not tar?

My first question would be what is the difference between your 3 builds?
