I need help with this Employee project?

I have a problem in the ProductionWorker and ShiftSuperVisor. I can't assign my own value in the class.

Employee:

import java.util.Random;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
import java.text.NumberFormat;

public class Employee
{
protected String eName;
protected String eNumber;
protected int hireYear;
protected double weeklySalary;
static Random generator = new Random();
static NumberFormat format = new DecimalFormat("#####.##");;

public Employee(String eName,String eNumber,int hireYear, double weeklySalary)
{

this.eName = eName;
if(validateENumber(eNumber))
{

this.eNumber = eNumber;
}
else
employeeNumber();

this.hireYear = hireYear;

this.weeklySalary = weeklySalary;

}

public Employee(String eName,String eNumber,int hireYear)
{

this.eName = eName;
if(validateENumber(eNumber))
{

this.eNumber = eNumber;
}
else
employeeNumber();

this.hireYear = hireYear;

}

public boolean validateENumber(String eNumber)
{
boolean validate = true;
if(eNumber.length() < 5)
validate = false;
else{
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
if(!Character.isDigit(eNumber.charAt(i)))
{
validate = false;
}
}
if (!(eNumber.charAt(3) == '-'))
validate = false;

if (!((eNumber.charAt(4) >= 65) && (eNumber.charAt(4) <=77)))
validate = false;

}
return validate;
}

public int getHireYear()
{
return hireYear;
}

public double getWeeklypay()
{
return weeklySalary;
}

public void setName(String name)
{
eName = name;
}

public void setHireYear(int year)
{
hireYear = year;
}

public void setWeeeklyPay(int salary)
{
weeklySalary = salary;
}

public String getName()
{
return eName;
}
public String toString()
{
return (eName + "," + employeeNumber() + "," + hireYear + "," + weeklySalary);

}

public String getNumber()
{
return eNumber;
}

public static String employeeNumber()
{
int eNumber = generator.nextInt(10)* 100 + generator.nextInt(10)* 10 + generator.nextInt(10);
String enumS = "" + eNumber;
while(enumS.length() < 3)
enumS = "0" + enumS;
String let = "" + ("ABCDEFGHIJKLM").charAt(generator.nextInt(13));
return enumS + "-" + let;
}

public boolean equals(Employee other)
{

if ((eName.equals(other.getName())) && (eNumber.equals(other.getNumber())) && (hireYear == other.getHireYear()) && (weeklySalary == other.getWeeklypay()))
return true;
else
return false;

}
}

ProductionWorker:

public class ProductionWorker extends Employee
{
//value of how much a production worker makes hourly
protected static double hourlySalary = 50.00;

//constructor that calls variables from Class Employee to create object ProductionWorker
public ProductionWorker(String eName,String eNumber,int hireYear, double hourlySalary)
{
super(eName,eNumber,hireYear);
if(super.validateENumber(eNumber))
{

this.eNumber = eNumber;
}
else
super.employeeNumber();
this.hourlySalary = hourlySalary;
}

public double getHourlySalary()
{
return hourlySalary;
}

public void setHourlySalary(double salary)
{
this.hourlySalary = salary;
}

public String toString()
{
return (eName + "," + super.employeeNumber() + "," + hireYear + "," + weeklySalary);

}

/**
* Equals method
*/
public boolean equals(ProductionWorker worker)
{
if(hourlySalary == worker.getHourlySalary())
return true;

return false;
}

public String getSalary()
{
String perSalary ="$" + hourlySalary + " per Hour";
return perSalary;
}
}

ShiftSuperVisor:

public class ShiftSuperVisor extends Employee
{
// instance variables - replace the example below with your own
protected static double yearlySalary = 80000.00;
protected int goal;

/**
* Constructor for objects of class ShiftSuperVisor
*/
public ShiftSuperVisor(String eName,String eNumber,int hireYear,
double yearlySalary, int goals)
{
super(eName,eNumber,hireYear);
if(super.validateENumber(eNumber))
{

this.eNumber = eNumber;
}
else
super.employeeNumber();
this.yearlySalary = yearlySalary;
goal = goals;
}

public double getYearlySalary()
{
return yearlySalary;
}

public void setYearlySalary(double salary)
{
this.yearlySalary = salary;
}

public void setGoal(int goal)
{
this.goal = goal;
}

public int getGoal()
{
return goal;
}

public String toString()
{
return (eName + "," + super.employeeNumber() + "," + hireYear + "," + weeklySalary + "," + yearlySalary);
}

/**
* Equals method
*/
public boolean equals(ShiftSuperVisor visor)
{
if(goal == visor.getGoal())
if(yearlySalary == visor.getYearlySalary())
return true;

return false;

}

public String getSalary()
{
String perSalary ="$" + yearlySalary + " per Year";
return perSalary;
}
}

Where is your main() method?

I am using BlueJ so I don't need one. It compiles it just doesn't work the way I want it to

I don't know how to excute it - it does compile, but I don't know waht to do with it.
What does your BlueJ do to execute it? Do you specify some method to start?

Don't use this strange thing

Maybe you don't want to use protected restrictions - remove all of them and try.

Still, BlueJ or not BlueJ - it needs to know where to start executing

So how do you start executing it:

Do you select some method and run this method - what it is that uyou are doing to run it?

For my employee class, the program asks me to type in things for the parameters. If I type the eNumber in the format XXX-L where XXX goes from 0-999 and L is A-M. If I don't type in that format it creates a random eNumber. For example if I type in 999-Z it would give me a random number like 555-A. But for ShiftSuperVisor and ProductionWorker, if I type in 555-A it doesn't give me 555-A it could give me a random number something like 043-L when I call the toString() method.

I create the object and it goes to the object bench. When I call the method toString() method from the object bench it doesn't give me the value I want.

try to replace ProductionWorker with this:

public class ProductionWorker extends Employee
{
    //value of how much a production worker makes hourly
    protected static double hourlySalary = 50.00;



    //constructor that calls variables from Class Employee to create object ProductionWorker
    public ProductionWorker(String eName,String eNumber,int hireYear, double hourlySalary)
    {
        super(eName,eNumber,hireYear);
        if(super.validateENumber(eNumber))
        {

            this.eNumber = eNumber;
        }
            else
               this.eNumber =  employeeNumber();
        this.hourlySalary = hourlySalary;
    }


    public double getHourlySalary()
        {
            return hourlySalary;
        }

    public void setHourlySalary(double salary)
        {
            this.hourlySalary = salary;
        }


    public String toString()
    {
        return (eName + "," + eNumber + "," + hireYear + "," + weeklySalary);

    }

     /**
     * Equals method
     */
    public boolean equals(ProductionWorker worker)
    {
        if(hourlySalary == worker.getHourlySalary())
        return true;

        return false;
    }

     public String getSalary()
    {
    String perSalary ="$" + hourlySalary + " per Hour";
    return perSalary;
    }
}

replace both of them:

    {
        super(eName,eNumber,hireYear);
        if(super.validateENumber(eNumber))
        {

            this.eNumber = eNumber;
        }
            else
               this.eNumber =  Employee.employeeNumber();
        this.hourlySalary = hourlySalary;
    }


    public double getHourlySalary()
        {
            return hourlySalary;
        }

    public void setHourlySalary(double salary)
        {
            this.hourlySalary = salary;
        }


    public String toString()
    {
        return (eName + "," + eNumber + "," + hireYear + "," + weeklySalary);

    }

     /**

        return false;
