Reproducing the error:

$cat >test.java <<. 
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class test extends JFrame
{

    private JFrame frame;

    public void init()
    {
        trayicon.addMouseListener(new click());
    }

        private class click extends MouseAdapter
        {
            public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e)
            {
                {
                frame.setVisible(true);
            }
        }
    }
}
.
$javac test.java 
test.java:15: cannot find symbol
symbol  : class MouseAdapter
location: class test
        private class click extends MouseAdapter

Adding the import

$ed test.java 
431
1i
import java.awt.event.*;
.
wq
456
$javac test.java 
test.java:13: cannot find symbol
symbol  : variable trayicon
location: class test
        trayicon.addMouseListener(new click());
        ^
1 error

Declaring trayicon at line 13

$ed test.java 
456
13i
        JLabel trayicon = new JLabel();// or something that makes sense
.
wq
528
$javac test.java 
$

Fixed!

Resulting code:

$cat test.java 
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class test extends JFrame
{

    private JFrame frame;

    public void init()
    {
        JLabel trayicon = new JLabel();// or something that makes sense
        trayicon.addMouseListener(new click());
    }

        private class click extends MouseAdapter
        {
            public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e)
            {
                {
                frame.setVisible(true);
            }
        }
    }
}

BTW, you don't need lines 26 and 21:

$ed test.java 
633
26d
21d
wq
605
$javac test.java 
$
$cat test.java 
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class test extends JFrame
{

    private JFrame frame;

    public void init()
    {
        JLabel trayicon = new JLabel();// or something that makes sense
        trayicon.addMouseListener(new click());
    }

        private class click extends MouseAdapter
        {
            public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e)
            {
                frame.setVisible(true);
            }
        }
    }
