very noob question

Code java:

---

String family_name = "Shakespeare";

---

This is red underlined, It says incompatible types.
FOUND: 'java.lang.String,required:'String'

The above should not give a compile error.

Thats what I thought :/

If you are still receiving an error post your entire source code to see if there is a particular issue. But that statement should not give you an error.
