Type mismatch: cannot convert from Override to Annotation

[Sasha Ruehmkorf]

I am using Eclipse and I always get the above mentioned message when hoovering the mouse over the word Override. I don't have a clue what to do...

class ObjektMitFinalize{

int [] intArray = new int[100];

@Override
protected void finalize(){
}
}

Hi Sasha,

I had the same problem also.

In my case I had a class named "Override" that caused the error. The class was in the same package.


Yours,
Bu.

That was the problem.
Thank you!!!

Thanks! That saved my time.

Common problem; the answer is never to create a class with the same name as a class in the package you are importing. That implicitly includes the java.lang package.

Alternatively, you can use the fully‑qualified names of the classes imported.
