Java Local Development Environments Advanced Tooling Refactoring

java.util.Queue is an invalid type error

When I attempt to refactor the code by selecting "Refactor," "Type Migration," and then change Song to SongRequest, the dialog box pops up an error stating that 'java.util.Queue' is an invalid type. I cannot proceed to refactor the code until I resolve this error, and I don't understand it.

Can someone please help?

I found it! I think.

I went back and typed out everything I saw Craig do in the previous videos, such as creating SongRequest, and added the equals/hashcode as shown. And I was able to refactor the code.

So, in short. Watch the first video and add the file and needed code. Then refactor.

Have a good day!

P.s: If anyone can enlighten us as to why this happened, I'm sure we'd all benefit from it.
