java : Identifier expected error when calling a void method from another class

So I've been trying to create a set of cards by defining them through their value then create one class per color. I have a method for creating a list of 13 cards from 2 to ace:

package test;

import java.util.*;

public class Cartes { 

    void liste_cartes(){    

        ArrayList liste_cartes = new ArrayList();       

        for(int i=2; i<15; i++) {        
            liste_cartes.add(i);
        }
    }
}

I've tried using this method in my color class !

package test;

import java.util.*;

public class Coeur {    
    Cartes cartes = new Cartes();    
    cartes.liste_cartes();    
}

However I'm getting an <identifier expected> error on cartes.liste_cartes();. Relatively new to Java here, so any help is much appreciated.

For Java program,JVM first looks for main() to run the program. Try writing this:-

public class Coeur {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    Cartes cartes = new Cartes();
    cartes.liste_cartes();
}

}

Wrap cartes.liste_cartes(); in a method, like

public void dummyMethod(){ //should probably be your main method, if in your main class
    cartes.liste_cartes();
}

Also, your ArrayList is of raw type. Make use of generics.

ArrayList<Integer> liste_cartes = new ArrayList<Integer>();
