Java 1.5 compile time error

[ank_k]

There is a class that one of my team members have written in J2se 1.5
While it is working on her machine it is giving the following compile time error is other machines (using J2se 1.5)

The type Comparable is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments <String>

this error is coming at the very first line (package declaration) of the class.

Can someone please let me know what the problem could be and how to resolve it.

We are using eclipse 3.2.2
Code for the class is

Package should be compatible with your one. You cannot use different one here. Or else you have to keep the same structure.

Package is the folder path located your project.

Thanks for replying.
Package name and folder structure are exactly the same.

[Eranga]

Can you copy-paste your complete error message.

This is all I am getting in eclipse
"The type Comparable is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments <String>"
