SOLVED [Java] Collections.sort Generics-error (unchecked or unsafe operations)


Recommended Posts

Code:

import java.util.*;

public class MyClass{
private Vector<OtherClass> stuff;

public MyClass() {
	this.stuff = new Vector<OtherClass>();
}
public Vector getStuff(){
	Collections.sort(this.stuff);
	return this.stuff;
}
}

 

I get the following error when I compile:

Note: {file} uses unchecked or unsafe operations.

Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details.

 

Tool completed successfully

 

If I remove the Collections.sort it doesn't give me the error.

Well, I used the solution in the last post here:

http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=709718&tstart=0

 

But then I had to change my compareTo method in the OtherClass from taking an Object and then casting, to taking only OtherClass objects.

This thread is more than a year old. Please don't revive it unless you have something important to add.
