Recompile with -Xlint???

I am getting this Note when I am compiling a batch file involving a SalesClient, SalesServer, CreateDatabase, etc. and I was wondering if any of you had seen this before?

Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details.

Its a compiler warning that lets you know you that you are using a raw type of a class that is implemented using generics. To find out exactly what lines the compiler is referring to, compile from the command line using:

javac -Xlint:unchecked <class to compile>

Would this cause a problem when trying to create a database? Also, I used that syntax, but it doesn't seem to be working...the class I think the problem is coming from is SalesServer and so I entered that in with the Syntax you gave me, but it says the syntax is incorrect.

Depends on which part of the code has problems, but mostly it should not.

Try this :
javac -Xlint:unchecked SalesServer .java

If you are into serious java programming then I would suggest that you get a good IDE , Netbeans and Eclipse are good and free. Will take some time to learn but worth the effort.

The best commercial IDE (in my opinion), IntelliJ IDEA, now has an $99 acedemic license for students and teachers, which puts it within reach for serious student programmers.

Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats...
