The type Class is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments <T>

[new_2_java]

Hi all,

I have set up a project in Eclipse 3.1 and am using java 5.0 compiler.

Here's my folder structure in Eclipse

Code:

DFS\RemoteClient\TestClient.java

DFS is the project in Eclipse


and this is how it looks my java class

Code:

package RemoteClient;

import java.util.*;
// other imports
public class TestClient {
    public static void main(String [] args) throws ServiceInvocationException {
        // business logic here ....
    }
}

So, basically, my java class is just a simple class with a main function.

Now when I build my project, using Project->Clean...

Then I get this as an error at the very first line where i specify the package

This is the error:

Code:

The type Class is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments <T>

Can someone please comment on this, as what's this error and why am I getting this.

Thanks.

It may be that your ide is using a version of java (earlier than j2se 1.5 in which generics was added to the language) which does not support generics. You can try removing the generic type parameters.
