I have no idea what it means. Eclipse shouldn't have to give an answer like that. Here is my code. Please help me.

}

The error is at the 5th line, where I defined the serialVersionUID. As I wrote in the title, eclipse asks for the symbol < after the comma but it makes no sense in my opinion. The message it gives me is the same that there is in the title

Answer 1

Eclipse doesn't like the code below the line you point to:

(name = "player");

I'm guessing that, by the fact you call the superclass Table with the value of name, you want to replace

super(id,name);

With:

super(id,"player");

Answer 2

Eclipse is just pointing to (name = "player");

You need to define name as something like

private final String name = "player";

and your error should be resolved
