import java.util.*;
public class ListTest {
// Statics
public static void main( String [] args ) {
System.out.println( "List Test" );
// Create a collection
ArrayList list = new ArrayList();

// Adding
String [] toys = { "Shoe", "Ball", "Frisbee" };
list.addAll( Arrays.toList( toys ) );
....
gives error as follows:
C:\Java\EigeneJavaProgramme>javac ListTest.java
ListTest.java:15: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method toList (java.lang.String[])
location: class java.util.Arrays
list.addAll( java.util.Arrays.toList( toys ) );
^
1 error

WHY?

The method is called asList(...), not toList(...).

You'll probably want to learn to become very familiar and comfortable referencing The API Documentation.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
