    Default Re: Cannot find symbol error in my java code

    Where are those symbols (classes ???) defined? The compiler can not find their definition.

    Please post the full text of the error message that shows the source line. For example:
     
    TestCode12.java:566: error: cannot find symbol
          AerryList<NoClass> test;
          ^
      symbol:   class AerryList
      location: class TestCode12
    TestCode12.java:566: error: cannot find symbol
          AerryList<NoClass> test;
                    ^
      symbol:   class NoClass
      location: class TestCode12

    Without seeing the code I also can not see where those symbols are defined.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
