I just started this book: Core Java Volume II
I downloaded the sample code from the book from the vendors website. However, I cannot compile the examples that use APIs new to j2se 5.0.

How can I take advantage of the new features introduced in j2se 5.0? I went to suns website and it does not appear that they have a newer SDK.

Here is an example of my problem from the sample code downloadable from the above link.

Path: coreJava\v2\v2ch1\Bounce\Bounce.java Line#: 101

Code:
 private ArrayList<Ball> balls = new ArrayList<Ball>();

My compiler gives me the following error: java.util.ArrayList does not take parameters

Ball is a simple object

I currently have j2sdk1.4.2_04 installed, and use netbeans 4.1

Any help clearing up my confusion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance :)
 
I see what my problem was before.. the naming conventions threw me. For j2se v 1.4.2 the development tools are called "The J2SE Software Development Kit" SDK.. for v 5.0 they are called "The J2SE Development Kit" JDK.. Confusing me with the user end JRE..

after unistalling the old development kit, and installing the new my programs compile..
