Looking at your last couple of posts, you need to learn how to read compiler errors.
CertkillerTest.java:3
In the file CertkillerTest.java, on line 3 we have found an error.
invalid method declaration
A methdod declaration is incorrect
return type required
All methods should have a return type. But hold on, what about ctors. Well, they are ctors, not methods (a small difference, but a difference). So why is the compiler complaining. Well as we all know the ctor has to have the same name as the class. The class is CertKiller, and the ctor is Certkiller. And as we should know, Java is case sensitive. So they are not the same name. As such, it is not a ctor, but a method, and should have a return type

As has been advised in [url=http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=760562]this thread[/url] you need to change your font; possibly
to a larger point-size. If you can't distinguish a lower case 'k' from an
upper case 'K', your current font most likely is too small or an unreadable
font. No insult intended, please consider the option.
kind regards,
