Exception in Start application method

Question

I'm trying to make a Stopwatch application, but I keep on running into the same runtime exceptions. I've been struggling with it for days, and I am not sure how to fix it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! This is my first decent length project in Java, so I'm determined to figure it out; just having quite a bit of trouble, and I am unsure of how to get past this.

The package import statements are important for this example, but are not in the code you supplied. According the stack trace the package used is `stopwatch`. `TimerStopWatch` should be public. When posting code your should post a [mcve] (what you have is not minimal). If you decide to update it, make sure it is also complete. — jewelsea, Oct 10 '21 at 08:02
Imports appear consistent; an incorrect value for `dialImageName` reproduces the exception. — trashgod, Oct 12 '21 at 13:42
