I am currently working on an assignment where I have to create an application that uses dynamic data to fill in trees and lists. I have tried placing the main method in this class before and the only time it looked like I could compile is if i changed all of my variables to static. Can I place my main method in this class (where would I be able to?) or do I need another class? thank you.

in a static method you can only call other static methods. Thats why the compiler changes your methodes to static. What you want is to create another class with a the main method and then create an object of your FormWindow class. Since your constructor needs a Client object , you need to create that object first.
FormWindow fw = new FormWindow(someClientObject)
