Hi,
I went through a lot of similar posts and followed the instructions therein but still couldn’t get this to work…Therefore posting…
The following line in Eclipse 3.1

ArrayList<JTextField> textboxes = new ArrayList<JTextField>();

gives the compiler error:

The type ArrayList is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments <JTextField>

My java version is “1.5.0_01”

In Eclipse,
The Window > Preferences > Java > Compiler > Compliance and ClassFiles has the compiler level set to 5.0
Generated .class files compatibility set to 5.0
Source compatability set to 5.0

In Project > Properties > Java Compiler > Compliance and Classfiles also, the above three fields are set to 5.0..

Still, I am getting the above error…

Why can this be????

Your code is valid, just make sure your import is for java.util.ArrayList, you might have accidentally imported some other ArrayList.

Hi,
Thanks for replying… I had imported java.util.ArrayList… No other…..
Don’t have an idea where was the problem.. But i installed eclipse again and then ran the code… It worked!!..
Anyways, thanks..
