The following code compiles and runs properly using BlueJay.

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class LayoutBox2
{
    private JFrame frame;
    public static void main (String[] args)
    {
        LayoutBox2 guiLayout = new LayoutBox2();
        guiLayout.start();
    }
    public void start()
    {
        frame = new JFrame("Border Layout");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        Container contentPane = frame.getContentPane();
        contentPane.setLayout(new BoxLayout(contentPane, =
BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
        contentPane.add(new JButton("First Button"));
        contentPane.add(new JButton("Second Button - a long one"));
        contentPane.add(new JButton("Third Button"));
        contentPane.add(new JButton("Fourth Button"));
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }
}

However Eclipse gives an error on the following line:

        contentPane.setLayout(new BoxLayout(contentPane, =
BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));

The error says that it can't resolve the Y_AXIS...

I know that this is way to easy for most of you, but as someone new to =
Java, it is driving me mad. Does anyone have any idea why it will =
compile in one program and not the other?
