Eric:
Thanks for your help. I need your orientation here, because the
code is part of a framework and I think it would be impractical to
paste all the code here (thousand of lines).
The code in the original post correspond to three different classes
and I am sure it runs without modifications. [...]
Even though class `A' refers to the Collection and ArrayList
classes, but does not import either of them?
Even though `class B extends A', but `A' is in a different
package and is not imported?
Even though the `main' method is not inside a class?
Even though the type of `main' is `void void'?
"Without modifications," you say? Are you by any chance
related to Captain Corcoran? ("What, never?" "No, never!"
"What, _never_?" "Well, hardly ever!")
I am not asking for all umpty-thousand lines of the original
program, but for a reduced sample that illustrates your problem.
What you've provided is reduced, I'll grant, but it illustrates
nothing at all because it won't even compile.
