Thanks Ken -- but I tried importing java.util.List. It still fails to compile later on, saying it can't find List or String, and I can't do boolean ops on strings... I'll read a little further but I am document loopy right now...:-O Thanks. --le ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Perry" <whistler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, December 11, 2010 11:47 AM Subject: RE: java Lists This is probably what your looking for. http://onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2005/07/06/generics.html Ken -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of qubit Sent: Saturday, December 11, 2010 11:07 AM To: bprogramming Subject: java Lists Greetings -- I am writing a java package that contains a method that has to use class List<String>. Unfortunately, I have gone through a few screenfulls of docs, and although I find List under Collections, I can't figure out what to import to get the definition of List. I spent yesterday and today battling with java docs and while I could continue to look for this one, I am wondering if someone could answer it off the top of their head. I have tried importing java.Collections, java.lang.Collections, java.aut.List (that isn't the right def). Any info is welcome!
