Generic method using an int[] argument

Hello,
I have the following generic function declared.
public static <T extends Comparable<? super T>> void selectionSort (T[] data)

However eclipse will not compile saying:
The method selectionSort(T[]) in the type writeInts is not applicable for the arguments (int[])


Here is the call from main and the rest of the code

Code :

---

	public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		boolean found = false;
		final int DEFAULT_SIZE = 1000;
		int[] rowValues = new int[DEFAULT_SIZE];
 
		writeInts myWriteInts = new writeInts();
 
		found = myWriteInts.selectionSort(rowValues);
;
 
	}
 
public static <T extends Comparable<? super T>> void selectionSort (T[] data)
	    {
	       int min;
	       T temp;
 
	       for (int index = 0; index < data.length-1; index++)
	       {
	          min = index;
	          for (int scan = index+1; scan < data.length; scan++)
	             if (data[scan].compareTo(data[min])<0)
	                min = scan;
 
	          /** Swap the values */
	          temp = data[min];
	          data[min] = data[index];
	          data[index] = temp;
	       }
	    }

int is a primitive data type, and as such Java's generics can't handle them. Instead, try using the Integer wrapper class.

Thanks that solved it.
