Setting background color using java.awt.color

Question

This is my first Swing project on Eclipse, and I cannot set the background color of a component. I have tried by using this code :

B_Send.setBackground(new java.awt.color(0,0,255));

which returns the error:

java.awt.color cannot be resolved to a type

Can anyone explain the error and why the code isn't working?

Answer 1

It's not java.awt.color but rather java.awt.Color .

Yes, these little things mean a lot, and the Java compiler is extremely persnickety. Welcome to the world of programming.
