Hello. I am having difficulty trying to do this Java project using Eclipse. The following is what I have to do.

In this exercise you will write a program that checks to see if a date entered by the user is a valid date in the second millenium. A skeleton of the program is in Dates.java. Open this program and save it to your directory. As indicated by the comments in the program, fill in the following:

1. An assignment statement that sets monthValid to true if the month entered is between 1 and 12, inclusive.

2. An assignment statement that sets yearValid to true if the year is between 1000 and 1999, inclusive.

3. An assignment statement that sets leapYear to true if the year is a leap year. Here is the leap year rule (there's more to it than you may have thought!):

If the year is divisible by 4, it's a leap year UNLESS it's divisible by 100, in which case it's not a leap year UNLESS it's divisible by 400, in which case it is a leap year. If the year is not divisible by 4, it's not a leap year.

Put another way, it's a leap year if a) it's divisible by 400, or b) it's divisible by 4 and it's not divisible by 100. So 1600 and 1512 are leap years, but 1700 and 1514 are not.

4. An if statement that determines the number of days in the month entered and stores that value in variable daysInMonth. If the month entered is not valid, daysInMonth should get 0. Note that to figure out the number of days in February you'll need to check if it's a leap year.

5. An assignment statement that sets dayValid to true if the day entered is legal for the given month and year.

6. If the month, day, and year entered are all valid, print "Date is valid" and indicate whether or not it is a leap year. If any of the items entered is not valid, just print "Date is not valid" without any comment on leap year.

The following is my code. I have several errors on the page and not sure what to do. I'm also stuck on the last two steps.
