I don't understand this. I wrote compilable test code to demonstrate
my problem; I pasted it. It was apparently still too long. I don't
know HOW to write it to meet your standards and no online link is
going to apparently help as you've given it to me a dozen times and
I'm still seemingly "not getting it" if I can't seem to paste
compilable, short code that you understand.
The problem is that what you posted was simply too long for most
people to deal with. I think one could write a program that loads, crops,
and displays an image in 20-30 lines of text, so your SSCCE shouldn't be
much longer than, say, 60 lines. When you posted 15 pages of text, I guess
some people automatically assumed you weren't trying very hard.
From a quick glance at your code, it looks like you're using some sort
of IDE which wants to restrict you to only editing some code, and
otherwise marks other parts of the code as "don't touch" zones, where it
automatically generates the code for that section. Using such an IDE in
general is fine, but obviously such an IDE is not well suited for writing
SSCCEs, since you can't control all the extra code it's generating.
Try using a different IDE for the purposes of writing SSCCEs. If you
don't know how to write GUI code (e.g. creating JLabels and such) without
using your specialized IDE, then maybe you should learn how. There are
tutorials on Sun's website.
