    final JDialog d=new JDialog();
    JLabel l=new JLabel(\"Enter the E

final makes the "variable" a constant--you can't change it. As to why the compiler is giving you warnings after you delete the final keyword, we'd need to see the whole code...

EDIT:

 but1.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
 {
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
     {
         c=Integer.parseInt(f.getText());
         d.setVisible(false);
         d.dispose( );
     }
  });

I believe this is the segment of code that causes the compiler to fire the warning. You can't use c in this class...
