Thanks for the info.
I hate to say having been in programming in just about every language that exists for the past 30 years (except Java), I was hoping compiler messages might have improved over the years and become a little less terse and a little more user useful. Something like "I don't know what "1310Robot" is, it does not start with a letter, $ or underscore" would have saved me many hours of (unpaid voluteer) time that I can not get back (nor my project schedule)@#$%
Looks like I can't count on learning Java rules via the compiler error messages so thanks for the link and I will look around for a good (concise) reference source
