Hi,
BlueJ 2.1.3 is giving me the following error message which says “illegal start of expression”. Is there any way to fix this issue? Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Matthew
That error you receive is usually showing up when variables declared in the main method can not have access modifiers. Any variables that you declared in the main method can't be accessed by your class methods.
Anything you want accessible by class methods should be defined in the class.
Having an empty main method means absolutely nothing happens when the program runs.
As I do not have the text that you have tried to compile, please make sure all the above are corrected, and that your {} are well placed.
I hope you will find this information useful.
Randolph
