[Bluej-discuss] Book: Excercise 1.17

List,

I hope that this isn't a frivolous question that has been answered in the
past or is due to a mistake on my part. I am trying to run the
exercise 1.17listed in the most recent edition of the "Objects First
with Java: A
Practical Introduction Using BlueJ." When I try to compile the Student class
I receive the error: <identifier> expected

What am I missing here?

Cheers,
Matt

Specifically the compiler hangs up on (see arrow):


public class LabClass
{
    private String instructor;
    private String room;
    private String timeAndDay;
-->private List<Student> students;
    private int capacity;

    /**
     * Create a LabClass with a maximum number of enrolments. All other
details
     * are set to default values.
     */
    public LabClass(int maxNumberOfStudents)
    {
        instructor = "unknown";
        room = "unknown";
        timeAndDay = "unknown";
        students = new ArrayList<Student>();
        capacity = maxNumberOfStudents;
    }
