List in jsk 1.4.0 beta!

[Roy Ben Ami]

has anyone tried to create a List object in jdk 1.4.0 beta?
for some reason i can't create it.
the comoiler doesnt recognize any of the constructors in List.
in other jdk's it compiles fine!
i also didnt find anything in the bugs databse at sun!
any idea guys? (and gals)

p.s
i mean the awt List, not the util one. and my code is just:
List x=new List();
written in a class that extends Frame (and yes i imported awt and all the other button and stuff works fine).

Hello,
Ive installed the JDK1.4 release candidate on my Windows 2000 machine. I found the following code created an AWT List:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class ListTest extends Frame {
List myList;
public ListTest() {
    super("Hello World");
   
    myList = new List();
    myList.add("Some Val");
    myList.add("Some other Val");
    this.add(myList, BorderLayout.NORTH);
   
    addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
    System.exit(0);
}
    });
    setSize(200,200);
    show();
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
    ListTest myListTest = new ListTest();
}
}

Hope that helps,
Mark

wow!!!
thanks a lot Mark!
using your code i was able to filer my problem!
it is so unbelivable i feel stupid!!
apprently (and belive it or not it took me almsot 2 hours of kicking at the computer) in the current directory i was, 1 of the 100 classes there was a stupid List class that someone put there.
thats why it didnt recognize the real List in awt pakcage (although i used the appropriare long name etc) - it always seems to go to the one in the current directory.
anyway, thanks a lot, and im sorry to bother u people with this.
this is really frustrating (and to think i almost punched my monitor)
thanks again.
