Java Syntax Error on Token.... Identifier Expected After This Token

Identifier expected after this token Error

Syntax Error on token start, Identifier expected after this token.

means that you declared these statements:

thread1.start();
thread2.start();

as members of the class.

But these are not valid member declarations.

These don't create any issue as these are valid declarations :

Thread thread1 = new Thread() {
    public void run() {

    }
};

Thread thread2 = new Thread() {
    public void run() {

    }
};

As alternative, you could move the start() invocation statements in an initializer or a method.

Here is a example with an initializer :

public class Foo {

    Thread thread1 = new Thread() {
        public void run() {

        }
    };

    Thread thread2 = new Thread() {
        public void run() {

        }
    };

    {
      thread1.start();
      thread2.start();
    }

}

Or if it makes more sense, you can also change the fields into local variables and declare the whole statements in a method :

public class Foo {

    public void myMethod(){    

       Thread thread1 = new Thread() {
          public void run() {

          }
       };

       Thread thread2 = new Thread() {
         public void run() {

        }
       };

       thread1.start();
       thread2.start();
    }

}

Getting error in Eclipse: syntax error on token start identifier expected

Found a very bad mistake done my me. Forgot to add public static void main(String args[]) in the Thread_Definition class.

Syntax error on token class, Identifier expected

Processing functions like setup() and draw() need to be in the first tab.

I'm not totally sure why this is. It shouldn't be strictly necessary because all of the tabs get converted into one Java file, unless your tab names ends with .java. My guess is this is a quirk of the Processing -> Java compiler.

You could file a bug on the Processing GitHub repo, but I think your best bet is to make sure all your Processing functions are in the first tab.

Syntax error on token ,, Identifier expected after this token

My friend, you have a syntax error missing the key for that value:
You are writing:

@Element(name="Video", =false)

and you are missing the "required"

@Element(name="Title",required=false)

Syntax error on token close, Identifier expected after this token

Your

input.close();

at the end of the class is not in a method, this is not allowed in Java.

You need to move this to your main method. It should probably go after the end of your while loop as you have finished with input at that point:

   }   //END WHILE

   input.close();

   System.out.printf("\n%-30s%30s\n", "Total Number of Transactions", totalTrans);

Once you have done this you will find there are other compile errors which Eclipse can only detect when you have fixed the first error.
