>Description:
i'm trying to generate an object file from a java file named test.java :

import java.util.*;
public class test{
  public static void main(String args[]){
    ArrayList tata = new ArrayList();
    tata.add(new Integer(345)); 
    Integer toto = (Integer) tata.get(0);
    System.out.println("HelloWolr"+toto.toString());
  }
}
by using the command :
gcj  -B /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/ -c test.java

but it seams that gcj those not recognize the ArrayList type, here is
the error message:

test.java:4: Type `ArrayList' not found in the declaration of the local
variable `tata'.
    ArrayList tata = new ArrayList();

thanks.
