Essentially, every single use of java.lang.String has broken. They're giving me the following error:

Incompatible types. Found: 'java.lang.String', required: 'com.sun.org.apache.xpath.internal.operations.String'

Any idea what could be causing this? I'm writing a simple input to file program:

package com.company;

public class Main {


    private static File myFile = new File("libraryList.txt"); //Change to something sensible
    private static Scanner deleteQuery = new Scanner(System.in);
    private static ArrayList<String> bookTitles = new ArrayList<String>();
    private static Scanner inputScanner = new Scanner(System.in);

    public static void main(String[] args) {


        System.out.println("If you need to create a new file, click [Y]. If you already have one, click [N].");
        String createNew = inputScanner.nextLine(); //assigns the answer for addAnother to the variable
        if (createNew.equals("Y")) {
            CreateFile();
        }



        try { //try|catch error check initiation
            boolean addNewBook = true;
            while (addNewBook == true) { //initiate a loop that continues until they want to stop adding books

                GetTitle();
                GetAuthor();

The message that appears on com.company.Main is "Main method not found in class 'com.company.Main'".

CodePudding user response：

To fix, simply remove this import com.sun.org.apache.xpath.internal.operations.String;. In Java, members of java.lang package (as Java String class is) do not require an explicit import statement.
