Newbie question here.
I'm using Netbeans and I added a new file to my project and made it a JDialog. Then I added a mouseclick event to an object on another file - a Jpanel. How do I get that mouseclick to launch my JDialog? I tried JDialog.show and it gives me an error.

My dialog file is called ApptDialog and the dialog is also called ApptDialog.

Here's the code I tried for calling the dialog:

private void dayDateAreaMouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {                                         
            ApptDialog jd = new ApptDialog();
                    jd.setVisible(true);
        }

I tried

import .ApptDialog;

to get my calling file to see the dialog code.

The compile error I get is "cannot find symbol" referring to ApptDialog.
