public class AcdWidget extends AppWidgetProvider {
   String packageName = "air.kwd.acdsummit";
   String className = "com.package.MainActivity";
   Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
   intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(packageName, className));
   startActivity(intent);

You need to invoke the statements in some event listener (like OnClick). You are invoking them outside a method, where declarations (of fields, methods) are expected.

Read the App Widgets developer guide for more information on how you can achieve what you need.
