Question

I try to use the boolean in my class and get this message

“reference to Boolean is ambiguous, both class jxl.write.Boolean in jxl.write and class java.lang.Boolean in java.lang match”

What can I do in order not to take this error?
Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Just use

java.lang.Boolean instead of Boolean

From the error message it seems there are two imports of class Boolean

1 by default java.lang.*
2 jxl.write.Boolean

So you have to mention explicitly which Boolean you are referring in order to help compiler solve the ambiguity
