NB7 Database Tutorial: problem with generic <_masterClass_> and <_detailclass>

[xkkpafi]

I have followed the Java Desktop Application (using NB7) tutorial to build the Cars project and after a bit of difficulty along the way I have reached the step 1 of Running the Generated Application where one right clicks the projects node and clicks Run.

This is where the tutorial finally beats me.The result of Run is a message box One or more projects were compiled with errors. The problem seems to be syntax errors in the file CarsView.java where references to what appear to be generic types

Perhaps a link to the tutorial you're talking about would help us help you a little better.

From your description it sounds to me like the problem is the declaration of the _detailClass_ and _masterClass_ and not the collections that use them.

How are they declared?

Apologies, the tutorial is at http://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/nbm-crud.html.

Unfortunately other users have pointed to bugs, and workarounds for other parts of the tutorial, so I guess its rife with errors which probably makes getting a working db demo application impossible.

I cannot see where the class declarations are made. There is a plethora of files generated when one creates the example DB and binds it to an application.

I think this stuff is probably a bit too difficult for me so I think I will throw in the towel and go back to JDBC and a MySql solution.
