SOLVED Java NetBeans, :( I need help!

I have a Java NetBeans problem too!

I am absolute beginner - so I am not writing original code. I am trying to carefully follow step by step a tutorial from netbeans.org.

I have the new IDE 8.1 and the lesson says it is for 8.1.
I have JDK 1.8.0.73

This is a make a toolbar exercise and I get through it about 85% with no big errors .... then at one spot I get a mass of red dots showing errors.

This is the lesson -
http://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/nbm-google.html#creating-module-project
it goes off the rails at step 5 of
Creating the Toolbar
(inserting that bold text squib).

What I am thinking is maybe it doesn't like this line ....
@ActionID

maybe there's a different symbol or text I am supposed to put in place of the @ sign.

It has an error warning but ALT+ENTER doesn't give me a fix.

[I have done another lesson before with CODE WARRIOR and know about JLabel and the JTextFields etc. so they go in OK. ]
Is it me? I think that part in STEP 5 must have some little error .
I have turned OFF my IDE updater. But the tutorial doesn't look like it was written last week.

I am just stuck. 2 days of spinning wheels.

Rats. I think because this thread says 'SOLVED' at the top I am not going to get an answer.
But I didn't want to make a new topic on the forum where there already was one.

Well, I think I solved my problem after a re-do.
I made a new folder and redid the lesson and had a problem at the same part.

I wound up copying the code from the lesson and inserting it into the java file since the instructions were very unclear.
The problem seems to be on this line (near the top)

There was an error dot on the left side of that line I hadn't seen. On prompt the IDE said to get that file and the error was gone after that and it ran OK.

-------------------------
Part 7 of "Creating the Action" seems poorly written compared to the lesson up to that point. There's no way to follow that instruction as a beginner. The prior part of the lesson had step-by-step illustrated instructions. Then, BLAM,

The 2 "you need to" items are just a mystery without details.
