The type List is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments <String> [message #169800] Wed, 06 September 2006 15:29 Go to next message

Can anyone explain the following error in Eclipse 3.2? I am running Java SDK
1.6 and Eclipse's compliance settings are set to "6.0"

Offending code:
List<String> phases = new ArrayList<String>();

Error message:
The type List is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments
<String>

If I change List to ArrayList, it compiles, however I should not need to do
this.

Thanks,
Dave

Could you please open a bug report against JDT/Core with steps to reproduce?
Please provide build id, JRE on the project classpath, compiler settings.
I tried quickly and I could not reproduce.

Thanks,

Dumb Question ...
are you sure that List is from package java.util and not from
javax.swing ? Eclipse often chooses the swing version during auto
complete ....

Also, make sure that you have a 1.5 JRE on your classpath, rather than a 1.4
JRE.

Sorry, clearly I mean "a 1.6 JRE... rather than a 1.4 JRE."

Apparently this is not a dumb question, because its exactly what I did.
java.awt.List was imported instead of java.util.List.

Thanks!

I am facing the same problem. I have imported java.util but still not able to create the generic type List. Please help.
