Thread: Strange Compiling Error

I'm having a weird problem and I hope someone can help me. I was trying to compile a program with string earlier and I got errors while compiling. That's fine. But now, all of the programs I try to compile give me the same error that has nothing to do with the code. For example:

public class New {
public static void main(String[] args) {
 
	System.out.println("Hello");
 
	}
}

gives me the following error:


.\String.java:11: incompatible types
found : java.lang.String
required: String
String username = scanner.nextLine();
^
.\String.java:17: incompatible types
found : java.lang.String
required: String
String password = scanner.nextLine();
^
2 errors


And this happens with everything I do.
Sorry, but I'm completely new to this.

**I use javac

I think you're compiling the wrong Java class file... if you want to get rid of many of the mundane things of coding, I'd really recommend getting an IDE. The two best Java IDE's are Eclipse and NetBeans. From what I've heard, they're pretty much on equal footing, it's mostly personal preference. For example, I prefer Eclipse because it's fast and let's you get on with the important coding stuff, but NetBeans has a powerful GUI designer, and is backed by Sun. Both are completely free, and offer a wide variety of helpful tools, many of which you probably won't use unless you're developing large projects.

dont forget this..

always remember that the java code that you are editing in DOS MUST be SAVED at the 'bin' folder...

BIN.


it looks like the error is pointing on a particular program.... does that program still exist in one of your folders?
