The error my picture shown may seem inconsistent with java API.
Do I have solution to fix it?

At a quick look it seems you might be compiling at a compliance level below 1.5, hence varargs methods are not recognized?

That isn't the correct signature for varargs.

The correct signature is:

get(String arg1, String ... arg2)

(String arg1, String[] arg2) says second arg MUST be an array only, not
a variable list. (Though the implementation under the covers is probably
the same).

This is beside making compliance level 1.6 or greater.

Varags is available in Java 1.5 and above, my mistake.

sorry if I answered the wrong question Smile

The method Paths.get() indeed being a varargs method: what exactly is your question?

Ok, I see. I didn't notice that Paths was a java package class. I was
thinking it was user created.

So yes, it must be the compliance is below 1.5, either by compliance
setting or because an actual JRE less than 1.5 is installed..

I did a test and if compliance is below 1.5 but the JRE installed is 1.5
or greater you get that exact message. And if JRE is 1.4 or lower you
that message.

Actually just noticed Paths class was created at 1.7. So the JRE must be
1.7 with a compliance less than 1.5 set for the project or the workspace.
