[JAVA] error check please?

[Original Poster]

These are my classes.... SwingChatServer wont compile cause of the error

"SwingChatServer.java:80: error: constructor DesEncrypter in class DesEncrypter cannot be applied to given types;

DesEncrypter encrypter = new DesEncrypter(key);

^

required: no arguments

found: SecretKey

reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length

"

any ideas what this means lol xD I have been sitting here for hours getting all the issues out the way and then it craps on me with this error and I have no idea now... help??

Remove the void from your DesEncrypter constructor...

Remove the void from your DesEncrypter constructor...

derp :p cheers works! now time to build on it... the reason that void was there is because it wouldnt run before i added the try catch statment without it
