The import java.util.Scanner cannot be resolved

[Heather]

Hi,
I'm trying to change the version of Java that's running. When I do: update-alternatives --config java

I get:

There are 5 alternatives which provide `java'.

1 /usr/bin/jamvm
2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java
3 /usr/bin/gij-wrapper-4.1
+ 4 /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/jre/bin/java
* 5 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java



When I try to compile a program with javac, I get:

The import java.util.Scanner cannot be resolved and Scanner cannot be resolved to a type

Any ideas?

I had a similar problem and I resolved it doing :

sudo update-alternatives --config javac

and choosing the version that matches the JRE solves the problem.
