Class names are only accepted if annotation processing is explicitly requested

The above error, which is documented here, is being displayed, when I try to compile the source code (see below), using Textpad 5.4.2, and, the command line.

From the link you supplied yourself: "If you receive this error, you forgot to include the .java suffix when compiling the program. Remember, the command is javac HelloWorldApp.java not javac HelloWorldApp."

kind regards,

Jos

It's not the case. Having pasted and compiled the errors in Eclipse 3.6.2, now the only issue is this:

public int compareTo(Row other)
   {  
      Object a = model.getValueAt(index, sortColumn);
      Object b = model.getValueAt(other.index, sortColumn);
      if (a instanceof Comparable)
         return ((Comparable) a).compareTo(b);
      else
         return a.toString().compareTo(b.toString());
   }
}

Error: Type safety: The method compareTo(Object) belongs to the raw type Comparable. References to generic type Comparable<T> should be parameterized

I think that the problem is that TableModel requires a compareTo() method, otherwise it won't compile, do you agree?

[JosAH]

It's not the case.

Yes it is; quoting you:

>javac -Xlint TableSortTest

You don't compile *.java files like that. (see the documentation).

kind regards,

Jos

ps. Your other isssue has nothing to do with this issue; also read the documentation for the Comparable<T> interface and read some tutorials on generics.

[jon80]

Well you should read my reply, there was an update.

[JosAH]

Well you should read my reply, there was an update.

I did read your reply, including the update; if you want help you should read the replies posted by others (here: me). Your first issue was explained in the documentation for which you supplied a link yourself; for your second issue see my previous reply.

kind regards,

Jos

[pbrockway2]

I would guess Jos has read your replies. And I have.

You say got an error from javac. It was pointed out that the javac usage was incorrect and the error always occurs when you use a class name argument in this context. It's a bit of a mystery what you mean by "it's not the case". Clearly it is the case: you use a class name argument in the (incorrect) way you posted and you will get the error you reported.

[jon80]

It might have been the case originally but it's not the only problem, because there was a subsequent reply to my original post. Excuse.

[JosAH]

It might have been the case originally but it's not the only problem, because there was a subsequent reply to my original post. Excuse.

I really don't understand what's happening here: I answered your original question and I answered your other question(s) in reply #4. Do you see different replies from the text I see?

kind regards,

Jos

[jon80]

Okay thanks anyway
