having trouble understanding generics

[Randall Twede]

i tried changing

	private String[] choices = {"Fly", "Eat", "Drink", "Smoke", "Read", "Sleep"};
	private JComboBox activities = new JComboBox(choices);

to

	private String[] choices = {"Fly", "Eat", "Drink", "Smoke", "Read", "Sleep"};
	private JComboBox<String> activities = new JComboBox<String>(choices);

but still getting warnings

[Stephan van Hulst]

Hi Randall. Please post the warnings you get.

[Randall Twede]

found raw type: JComboBox
private JComboBox<String> = new JComboBox(choices);

missing type argument for generic class JComboBox<E>

unchecked call to JComboBox(E[])

unchecked conversion
private JComboBox<String> = new JComboBox(choices);
required JComboBox<String>
found JComboBox
3 warnings

[Jeff Verdegan]

private JComboBox<String> = new JComboBox<String>(choices); 
                                        "~~~~~~~~"

Oh, you already tried that?

What warnings did you get for that code?

[Randall Twede]

i still don't get it

the warnings are for the second code. i think the warnings for the original code were similar

Try to clean the project and then recompile it. NetBeans has a 'Clean and Build' option under the 'Run' menu.

i think i know what you mean. since i am using Command Prompt i will delete all class files and recompile

[Randall Twede]

that did it. thanks

Good call. And then, SSCCE, complete with copy/paste of exact error message, or it didn't happen.
