I am trying to use sets in the following way:
static Set<String> languages = new HashSet<String>();
languages.add("en");
languages.add("de");
And I get the following error message generated by Eclipse:
> Multiple markers at this line
> - Syntax error on token ""en"", delete this token
> - Syntax error on token(s), misplaced construct(s)
I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. Can anybody please help me?
"Multiple markers" just means "there's more than one thing wrong with this line".
But the basic problem is that you're trying to insert statements directly into a class, rather than having them in a constructor, method, initializer etc.
I suggest you change your code to something like this:
static Set<String> languages = getDefaultLanguages();
private static Set<String> getDefaultLanguages()
{
Set<String> ret = new HashSet<String>();
ret.add("en");
ret.add("de");
return ret;
}
