Others have pointed you in the right direction to get your code to work, but
I have to ask, "Do you really want to implement bubble sort?"

If this is just a learning exercise then that's great, but if you really
want to sort something there really isn't ever a good use for bubble sort.
You should probably let Java do the sorting for you unless you have a
reason to use a specific algorithm. That algorithm will never be bubble
sort.
