ProcessBuilder Syntax errors

Hi,

I'm getting syntax errors with the following two statements

x ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("xxx.exe");

...........................................

xpb.command(filename);

It says there is no such constructor for the first statement. For the second one, no such a method for the data type. In fact, I tried several samples from the net and all end up the same result. ANy suggestions?

I use Eclipse 3.2 on XP Professional. Thanks,

I tried on several sets of codes from website. They all resulted in the same kind of errors

Have you written your own ProcessBuilder class?

No, I didn't write the ProcessPower class.

We don't care about the ProcessPower class!Do you have your own version or one given to you of ProcessBuilder class?Please look at the bit in bold.

> No, I didn't write the ProcessPower class.You already said that.Sadly nobody asked about the ProcessPower class, and while this seems a very silly discussion your confusion on the subject could well be the actual problem here.

Sorry. I sent the same message twice. I'm new to Java (less than 2 weeks). Would be happy to use whatever are already there. In fact I'm writing my first Java application.

If you are using Java 1.4 or earlier then you cannot use ProcessBuilder. It's new in Java 5.

The IDE I'm using, Eclipse 3.2, come with Java 1.5.

Hi, It turns out to be a simple problem. Those two methods require an array of strings as inputs, anything else is flagged as an error. The trouble is I use what I find on Internet as references that often don't match what I have in binary.
