I took several Java programming classes six and seven years ago. When I got a job six+ years ago, they didn't use Java. So, now I am trying to refresh my knowledge of Java using the textbook from seven years ago.

One of the example programs has the following command:

System.out.printf( "%-8s\t", metaData.getColumnName( i ) );

Now, when I enter this program, I get the following message:

"The method printf(String, Object[]) in the type PrintStream is not applicable for the arguments (String, Object)"

Even a simple command like "System.out.printf( "%s", "cow" );" returns the above error.

Please help me determine what I'm missing.

Thanks,
Gregory
