Hi there,

I'm trying to understand how to fix a warning message from the Java 1.5
compiler that states:

C:\JavaProjects\CardGames\games>javac -Xlint:unchecked *.java
Deck.java:157: warning: [unchecked] unchecked method invocation:
<T>sort(java.ut
il.List<T>) in java.util.Collections is applied to
(java.util.List<games.Card>)
    Collections.sort(deck);

I'm trying to use the Collections.sort() method to sort a List object.  In
my class I initialize the List object like so:

private List<games.Card> deck = null;

public Deck()
{
    Card[] deckOfCards = new Card[52];
    //Load up the deck with all necessary cards
    for(int i = 0; i < deckOfCards.length; i++)
    {
      deckOfCards[i] = new Card(vrank[i%13], srank[i/13]);
      deckOfCards[i].setAlias(aliases[i]);
    }
    deck = Arrays.asList(deckOfCards);
}

Then, later I have a sort method like so:

public void SortByValue()
{
    Collections.sort(deck);  //<<< This generates the warning noted above
}

I don't get it!  When I created the List object I specified the type:
<games.Card>
So what's its problem?

Please advise,

Alan
