Why I can not find Arrays.asList(Object [] s)

[abc_abc]

In Jdk1.3,when I use Arrays.asList. The complier will complain:

Unsupported.java:11: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method asList (java.lang.String[])
location: class Arrays
static List a = Arrays.asList(s);

But I import java.util.*;

Why?
Thanks

Could you show us your whole program?

import java.util.*;

class Test
{
public static void main (String [] args)
{
List list = Arrays.asList (args);
}
}

works fine.

And if it still doesnt work, there is probably some old javac or java
lurking around
in your PATH.(or a CLASSPATH?)
check with
java -version

I tried the following and it works fine

String [] s =
{
"ah",
"bg",
"cf",
"de",
};

List x = Arrays.asList(s);

In your code is your argument 's' an array?

I tried your Test.java. The message is below.
javac Test.java
Test.java:6: cannot resolve symbol

symbol : method asList (java.lang.String[])
location: class Arrays

List list = Arrays.asList (args);

java -version
java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0-C)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0-C, mixed mode)

What is the problem?

Thanks.

Looks like your javac installation is rather odd. Do you perhaps have a
1.1 javac somewhere in your path?

Try c:\jdk1.3\bin\javac Test.java

thank you very much!!
I find it out!
I made a mistake.
I ever put a Arrays.java file in the local directory!
A so .... mistake.
