I am not sure whether he was speaking about the java.swing.text.Document or the XML version of the document class.

Hi Anupreet,

If you are trying to use <b>Document doc = new Document()</b> then it is not possible cos Document is an interface. Instead use classes AbstractDocument or DefaultStyledDocument in package javax.swing.text or implement Document interface in your class.

use code like this

Document doc.
doc = new AbstractDocument();
or 
doc = new DefaultStyledDocument();

Hope it helps you.
