LinkedHashMap<String, String> error

My code is as follows:

LinkedHashMap<String, String> parameters = new LinkedHashMap<String, String>();

I am getting error:

not a statement

I included java.util.LinkedHashMap package and am using JDK version 4.1.2

I've never even heard of a JDK version 4.1.2. Could you provide a link to the place you downloaded it? — Jon Skeet

LinkedHashMap<String, String> parameters = new LinkedHashMap<String, String>(); parameters.put("src", srcPnoneNumber); // Sender's phone number with country code parameters.put("dst", receiverPhoneNos); // Receiver's phone number with country code, The numbers are separated by "<" delimiter. parameters.put("text", message); // Your SMS text message parameters.put("method", "GET"); // The method used to call the url // Send the messages MessageResponse msgResponse = api.sendMessage(parameters); — Nitin Chaudhary

Then the comments suggesting that you're trying to use generics with a version that doesn't support them are correct. More importantly, why are you using such an ancient version? And please don't dump code in comments like that - when you're asked for clarifications, you should put the information in the question. — Jon Skeet

Generics have been introduced in Java 5.

This feature (and the associated syntax) is not available in Java 1.4.

In JDK 1.4 (4) generics were not supported yet. Avoid the <> parts:

LinkedHashMap parameters = new LinkedHashMap();
