java.util.Scanner not recognised

[pjm35@st-and.ac.uk]

Hi. I am writing a parser for a constructor that takes a String parameter and want to use a scanner class. I have confirmed I am using 1.5.0 (see output from command line below) and have imported java.util.* however when I compile I get the following errors

$ javac *.java
2. ERROR in Argument.java (at line 46)
	Scanner scan=new Scanner();
	^^^^^^^
Scanner cannot be resolved to a type
----------
3. ERROR in Argument.java (at line 46)
	Scanner scan=new Scanner();
	                 ^^^^^^^
Scanner cannot be resolved to a type
----------
2 problems (2 errors)

Can anyone help me to fix this problem?

Thanks :)

java -version output:

$ java -version
java version "1.5.0"
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu6)

(PS I hope I posted this in the right place, it's my first time here)

Are you importing the Scanner class properly with

import java.util.Scanner;

?

Yes, it should be. Check that you have import the required package.

all Scanner constructors have parameters....

all Scanner constructors have parameters....

I feel like such an idiot.

Thanks though - that sorted me out :)
