Solved Getting a red line in Eclipse (error)

Hi. here is the snippet of code preventing the plugin from functioning properly.

if (!lore.isEmpty()) {
List newLore = new ArrayList();
for (String line : lore) {
newLore.add(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', line));
}

The error has been highlighted red. What can I do to fix this?

[16:43:46] [Server thread/ERROR]: null
org.bukkit.command.CommandException: Unhandled exception executing command 'ninjasandals' in plugin Test v1.0

This is what I get in console telling me about the command. The plugin starts and everything, but the one command it has doesn't work. I get the "An internal error has occured while trying to execute this command" prompt.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

What does eclipse tell you when you hover over the red line?
And what type is lore?

 

Type mismatch: cannot convert from element type Object to String

 

show me the entire method

I said method, not class, had a lot of fun searching for the correct line, and use the [ code ] bb-code (without spaces) next time, or paste your code on http://pastebin.com
Anyways,

change this:
"List lore = getConfig().getStringList("Item.Lore");"
and this:
"List newLore = new ArrayList();"

to:
"List<String> lore = getConfig().getStringList("Item.Lore");"
and:
"List<String> newLore = new ArrayList<String>();"

 

Sorry.

But thank you
