> Rogue comma.

Good eyes there Vincent, I honestly would have never picked that up, even with the little IDE symbol pointing out which line it is - lesson learnt on my part: when the IDE shows you the faulty line, examine every character.

Though it would help if Kyle actually formatted his code.

I think that everyone has experienced that situation where you pore over code for ages, looking for that elusive error, only to have someone else walk up and point straight at it before they've even had time to read the code. Frustrating or what!

Many times the problem is in the line or lines previous to the line with the error meesage.

There should be a brace rather than a semicolon at the end of the main declaration:

public static void main(String [] args) {
