Hi Shawn, I had the same error. I got rid of it by including a package statement, eg.:
package myassignment; The first statement in a java file (excluding comments) should be the package declaration. However, the package declaration is optional AFAIK. So I'm not entirely sure why netbeans is complaining when it is absent.
