Which jre to use?

[Barry Brashear]

I have code like (HashMap<String, variable> that I am getting compile
error on. What jre should I use for this?

Thanks.

A variable name in that spot will not do - it has to be a class name. Generics (which this uses) were introduced in Java 5, so a JRE version 1.5 and higher is needed.

What is the exact error message you're getting?

post the whole line of code, and the exact error you are getting
