HELP: java.awt.list vs java.util.list

[unclet]

I wrote Applet code (based on examples in a java beginner's book) that
defines a LIST box as follows:

set1List = new List();
set1List.setBackground(Color.white);

After coding the rest of the Applet example, the following two
lines are required at the top of the Applet code:

import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;

When I compiler the Applet, the following error is produced:

SetApplet.java:31: Ambiguous class: java.awt.List and java.util.List
set1List = new List();
^
It seems the compiler does not know whether to use the
java.awt.List or java.util.List definition.

How can I tell the code that the List box should come from
java.awt.List???

Add

import java.awt.List

after the other imports.

or use the class's full name in your code:

java.awt.List myList = new java.awt.List();

Just name it with fully qualified name explicitly.
set1List=new java.awt.List();
