Eclipse will not run my code and the editor shows no code errors at all

The code was running just fine until i tried to re-position a JLabel and although it shows no errors in my code it refuses to run it and gives me the following error... I am trying to move the label to the upper left corner of the JFrame window and the method i used to do so should be perfectly fine. At least to my knowledge. [Beginner Java Dev]

JLabel.setVerticalAlignment takes an int, but the int values should be JLabel.TOP, JLabel.MIDDLE, or JLabel.BOTTOM.

Also, JLabel.setHorizontalAlignment will take JLabel.LEFT, JLabel.CENTER, and JLabel.RIGHT.

Any other values will cause an illegal argument exception.
