Hmm, JSP-Interest and a question about an Applet... what's wrong with this
picture?
Anyway, the error message is very clear. You should try reading such things.
When you have two classes of the same name available via import, the
compiler doesn't know which one you meant - it can't read your mind, just
like you apparently won't read its messages. In this case, you want to
specify "java.awt.List" or "java.util.List" whenever you refer to the class.
