I need help with a runtime error

[David]

I am making a random card generator program:

I am getting this error when i run my program:

java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError
at Project4A2.main(Project4A2.java:20)
Exception in thread "main"

Here's my code. Please help. Also, take a look at the static
variables. I don't really know what they mean. I just got an error
when I compiled the program without it.

*********************************************************
import java.util.Random;

class Project4a
{
public static void main (String [] args)
{
// Use to get random numbers
Random generator = new Random();

// Print out to screen
System.out.println ("Dealing 20 random cards: ");


// repeat this loop 20 times to get 20 cards
for (int i=1; i<=20; i++)
{

// get random numbers for suit and faceValue
int suit = generator.nextInt(4) +1;
int faceValue = generator.nextInt(13) +1;

Card myCard = new Card (suit, faceValue);

// print card
System.out.println (myCard);
}
}
}
************************************************
Here's another part of my code:
************************************************

// import classes
import java.util.Random;

class Card
{

// declare variables
private static int suit;
private static int faceValue;
String cardType;
String suitType;

// constructor
public Card (int suit, int faceValue)
{
// call methods
suit = Card.getSuit();
faceValue = Card.getFaceValue();
}

// gets value for suit
public static int getSuit()
{
return suit;
}

// gets value for faceValue
public static int getFaceValue()
{
return faceValue;
}

// decides the suit and card according to the random number picked
public String toString(int suit, int faceValue)
{

if (suit == 1)
suitType = "Heart";
else if (suit == 2)
suitType = "Diamond";
else if (suit == 3)
suitType = "Club";
else
suitType = "Spade";


switch (faceValue)
{
case 1:
cardType = "Ace";
break;

case 2:
cardType = "2";
break;

case 3:
cardType = "3";
break;

case 4:
cardType = "4";
break;

case 5:
cardType = "5";
break;

case 6:
cardType = "6";
break;

case 7:
cardType = "7";
break;

case 8:
cardType = "8";
break;

case 9:
cardType = "9";
break;

case 10:
cardType = "10";
break;

case 11:
cardType = "Jack";
break;

case 12:
cardType = "Queen";
break;

case 13:
cardType = "King";
break;

}

// returns string
return (suitType + "\t" + cardType);

}
}

If you see any other errors in this program, please let me know,
because I'm not very good as of yet. Thanks for the help.

It would really help if you could identify where in your source line 20
is. A comment added to what you post would be useful.

Did you read the JavaDoc on this exception to see if it explained why
you might be getting this?

Recompile *all* classes, and you will probably get a more informative
compile time error.
