'String cannot be resolved to a type'

Okay, so, I probably look like an idiot, but I just started learning Java, okay?
So, anyways, I'm making a plugin, and everywhere where strings are used, I get the error that it cannot be resolved to a type.
Is it something I have to import at the start, or..?

 

AwesomeUnicorn It would be helpful if you posted some code, but I suspect you might use

Code:java

 
string s = "test";
 

However, it needs to be like this.

Code:java

 
String s = "test";
 

Notice the capitalization.

If this is not the case, then post some code so we can have an idea on what the problem is.

Good luck with future coding

 

Ranzdo Doesn't work. This is my code:

Code:

package net.web44.aweuni.Emotes;
 
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
import org.bukkit.entity.*;
import org.bukkit.command.*;
import org.bukkit.*;
 
public class Emotes extends JavaPlugin {
 
Logger log;
 
public void onEnable() {
log = this.getLogger();
log.info("eMotes by AwesomeUnicorn has been enabled!");
}
public void onDisable() {
log.info("eMotes by AwesomeUnicorn is now disabled.");
}
 
//Commands
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String[] args){
Player player = null;
if (sender instanceof Player) {
player = (Player) sender;
}
//eHug: the hugging command
if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("ehug")) {
if (args.lenght > 3) {
sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Wrong amount of arguments! Try /eHug <player> [private/all]!");
return false;
} else if (player == null){
//The command is sent by the console
Player other = (Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]));
if (other == null) {
sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "That player is not online!");
return false;
} else {
if (args[1] == "private" || args[1] == "p") {
sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + "You hugged " + other + "!");
other.sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + "The Gods hugged you!");
return true;

return false;

(I know there are probably some other mistakes, but right now, I'm only interested in the String-error)
And even if I put

Code:

String test = "lmao";

or something like it anywhere in the file, it gives me the exact same error: String cannot be resolved to a type.

EDIT: I'd like to rephrase what I said in the first post. I didn't just start learning Java, I already knew the basics. (The VERY basic basics, that is.)

Oh wait!
I think I fixed it!
There was an error with the library it used, turns out I just had to use Quick Fix and set it to jre6.
Still, thanks
