Collections not compiling

was trying to run a test from the JUnit faq, it calls for creating a collection, and it wouldn't compile, so I just did a little test file to see if I could play with it a bit, it still wouldn't compile.

here's my code:

publicclass CollectionTest{

ArrayList testCollection =new ArrayList();

}

it gives me this:

C:\java\misc_test>javac CollectionTest.java

CollectionTest.java:5: cannot find symbol

symbol :class ArrayList

location:class CollectionTest

ArrayList testCollection =new ArrayList();

^

CollectionTest.java:5: cannot find symbol

symbol :class ArrayList

location:class CollectionTest

ArrayList testCollection =new ArrayList();

^

2 errors

thanks,

bp
