Hi:
I am new to intellij and java (formerly used c++) and am having difficulty getting a simple gui form to run using the visual layout editor. My form is a simple one as you can see below![HelloWorldGui.tiff]()
Code generated by IntelliJ is
public class SimpleForm {
private JButton clickMeButton;
private JPanel panel1;
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("SimpleForm");
frame.setContentPane(new SimpleForm().panel1);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
code copiles and generates the following errors

from what I can tell it does not like the "SimpleForm" part of the statement JFrame frame = new JFrame("SimpleForm");
Not sure what to do about it though. Have generated this GUI using the FlowLayout object and it works just fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
