Problem compiling the PropertiesConfiguration code for commons configuration API v3.1

[misteryuku]

Hello,

I'm using eclipse indigo IDE for windows 7 to code and im making use of the java commons configuration api version 3.1. i have initialized the PropertiesConfiguration object. I couldn't compile because the PropertiesConfiguration throws an ConfigurationException. The error message when i moused over the affected code hightlighted in red was this : No exception of type ConfigurationException can be thrown; an exception type must be a subclass of Throwable.

How do i make sure this code is compiled sucessfully?

import org.apache.commons.configuration.Configuration;
import org.apache.commons.configuration.ConfigurationExce ption;
import org.apache.commons.configuration.PropertiesConfigu ration;

public class CustomTrafficConfigurationFileReader {

private static String configFilePath = "";

public static int findConfigFile(){
try {
Configuration config = new PropertiesConfiguration("TrafficLogConfig.properti es");
} catch (ConfigurationException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

public static void readConfigContents(){

}

}

You haven't got another ConfigurationException class hiding in your code have you?
If you're using an IDE like Eclipse you can probably CTRL-click on the class name above and find out what class it thinks it's looking at. This is no guarantee, though.
