Hi all

I am a java newbie so please forgive me if this is a dumb question :-)

I am trying to write a simple class that constructs an xml document using 
latest jdom (1.5 ?)  and sun jdk 1.4.1. During compilation I get the 
following error:

timServlet/DBXMLOutput.java [26:1] cannot access 
com.sun.java.util.collections.List

file com/sun/java/util/collections/List.class not found
        System.out.println(XMLOutputter.outputString(doc));
                                       ^
1 error
Errors compiling DBXMLOutput.


The relevant lines of code are: 


        Element root = new Element("myRootElement");
        Document doc = new Document();
        doc.setRootElement (root);
        root.setText("Hello World");
        System.out.println(XMLOutputter.outputString(doc)); //fails with 
collections.list not found


Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks
