What operating system and version are you running? WinXP Professional SP 2
What Eclipse version and build id are you using? Version: 3.1.1 Build id: M20050929-0840
– Was Eclipse freshly installed for MyEclipse? Yes
– Are any other external plugins installed? No
– How many plugins in the <eclipse>/plugins directory are like org.eclipse.pde.* 4
What MyEclipse version are you using? Version: 4.0.1 Build id: 20050930-4.0.1-GA
What JDK version are you using to run Eclipse? jdk1.5.0_04
What JDK version are you using to launch your application server? jdk1.5.0_04
What application server are you using? Tomcat 5.0
Are there any exceptions in the Eclipse log file? No
What steps did you take that resulted in the issue?

I wanted to change the following line of code

    private transient Logger logBestand = Logger.getLogger(Login.class);

with

    private transient Logger logBestand = Logger.getLogger(Class<Login>);

If you read documentation of new Java 5.0 features this should be possible, but i got following error

Severity = 2
Description = Syntax error on token ">", Expression expected after this token
Id = 103043

Of course i changed the compiler compliance level to 5.0 and i don’t have any problems with other generics (e.g. HashMap<String, String> works fine).

ps. the class Logger is from the log4j-package

hysterio,
Are you having this trouble while editing a Java source file? The Java editor is provided by the base JDT project from eclipse.org, we don’t instrument it in any way.

Hi,

It’s my mistake: class literal Foo.class is of type Class<Foo> and that’s not the same thing as Foo.class itself (so the error shown is logical).

And thanks for the quick reply
