Scanner issue

hey, I'm having an issue. my compiler is not finding the scanner class. obviously it's finding other classes in the util package. This isn't the computer i normally work on, but if i did something special to get scanner on my normal computer, i don't remember it.

Code:

 cannot resolve symbol
symbol  : class Scanner 
location: package util
import java.util.Scanner;

thanx.

First off, what version of Java are you running? Scanner is a recent addition to Java. Type "java -version" on the command line. If it's before 1.5, it won't include Scanner.

If it's 1.5 or later, post your source code - it's probably a syntax error.

well didn't end up getting back to this for a while.
but damn, it turns out you were right, i had version 1.4 something or other.

lesson: first result on google doesn't link to latest java release.
