Hello guys,

I am trying to declare a generic type in Eclipse:

private List<String> aList;

Eclipse complaints that "the type List is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with argument <String>".

I don't understand what happened, as I double checked the Java compiler, it is JDK6 which supports generic type.

Am I missing something?

Hi,

Make sure that your preferences for the project or workspace that on the
Java->Compiler preference tab that the Compiler Compliance Level is set
to at least 1.5.

Thanks for your reply,
I checked, it is set to 1.5. The problem still remains.

Check whether you really have a 1.5 JRE or higher on the project's Java
build path.

Thanks guy, I solved the problem. The project's build path contains JRE 4. I changed it to JRE 1.5
