I am working with examples from the book, Core Java™ 2 Volume II – Advanced Features, Seventh Edition by Cay S. Horstmann, Gary Cornell and using the following example, my code compiles fine with the DOS prompt, but errors galore appear in MyEclispe, as well as the Java Perspective.

import java.util.*;

public class MapTest {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Map<String, Employee> staff = new HashMap<String, Employee>();
staff.put(“144-25-5464”, new Employee(“Amy Lee”));
staff.put(“567-24-2546”, new Employee(“Harry Hacker”));
staff.put(“157-62-7935”, new Employee(“Gary Cooper”));
staff.put(“456-62-5527”, new Employee(“Francesca Cruz”));

// print all entries

System.out.println(staff);

// remove an entry

staff.remove(“567-24-2546”);

// replace an entry

staff.put(“456-62-5527”, new Employee(“Francesca Miller”));

// look up a value

System.out.println(staff.get(“157-62-7935”));

// iterate through all entries

for (Map.Entry<String, Employee> entry : staff.entrySet())
{
String key = entry.getKey();
Employee value = entry.getValue();
System.out.println(“key=” + key + “, value=” + value);
}
}
}

//New Class
/**
A minimalist employee class for testing purposes.
*/
class Employee
{
/**
Constructs an employee with $0 salary.
@param n the employee name
*/
public Employee(String n)
{
name = n;
salary = 0;
}

public String toString()
{
return “[name=” + name + “, salary=” + salary + “]”;
}

private String name;
private double salary;
}

Eclipse does not seem to undetstand the Generics (read http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5/pdf/generics-tutorial.pdf ) that are included in the code. Is there something I need to do in order to compile, or will MyEclipse use the new features in 1.5?

Thanks,

Curtis Fisher

You need to be using Eclipse 3.1M6 and MyEclipse 3.8.4 BETA For M6 in order to get JDK 1.5 syntax support.

Thanks, will do…
