Solved Shooting fireball with player direction

I am making a plugin which includes different types of "spells", and one of which is shooting a fireball.

I am completely stuck on how to summon a fireball with the veolcity of where a player is facing. I have looked a several tutorials on the bukkit forums but none seem to work.

Any help? Thanks

 

Easy solution

Code:

player.launchProjectile(Fireball.class);

That would launch the fireball in the direction the player is currently facing

 

Eclipse is giving me the following error:

Code:

Bound mismatch: The generic method launchProjectile(Class<? extends T>) of type ProjectileSource is not applicable for the arguments (Class<Fireball>). The inferred type Fireball is not a valid substitute for the bounded parameter <T extends Projectile>
