java system out format wants object array instead of simple variables

Question

I wanted to experiment with printf statement and my code is throwing error like this:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems: The method printf(Locale, String, Object[]) in the type PrintStream is not applicable for the arguments (String, String, String) The method format(String, Object[]) in the type PrintStream is not applicable for the arguments (String, Calendar) at TestPrintf.main(TestPrintf.java:7)

I am using Eclipse IDE.

Can someone help me with this?

Answer 1

I would suggest you check the compiler compliance level is set to 1.5 or higher in your project.

You can do it like this:

Project->Properties->Java Compiler

If Enable project specific settings are not set, use the Configure Workspace Settings link to check the global compiler compliance level.
