Unresolved compilation problem - Eclipse

[ohcrapitsDevin]

I have a Driver class, a money class, a bill class, and a date class.

My driver code that I'm having issues with is:

Money amount = new Money(20);
Date dueDate = new Date(4, 5, 2011);
Date paidDate = new Date(4, 4, 2011);
Bill bill1 = new Bill(amount, dueDate , "phone company");

In my date class, it is returned as a string, so dueDate is technically a string. However, when I try to run this code, i get compilation error. In Bill class, the line of code that it's having an issue with is

Bill (Money amount, String dDate, String Orig){
Amount = amount;
dueDate = dDate;
Originator = Orig ;
paidDate = null;
status = false;

I think that Eclipse is having an issue with dueDate being a string..

I don't know if this makes sense. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

However, when I try to run this code, i get compilation error.

You don't get compiler errors when trying to run code. You get them when you try to compile code.

Do we play 20 questions trying to guess the error(s) or did you just forget to post the error messages?

No. Technically dueDate is a Date because that is what type you declared it as. Just because you may have a method that returns a String representation of the Date does not mean that the compiler can read your mind and automagically convert the Date to a String for you.
