Java 8 HashSet error

Question

I'm trying to create a HashSet of type byte in my class, like so:

public HashSet<byte> transparent;

But the eclipse error message shows:

Syntax error, insert "Dimensions" to complete ReferenceType

I don't know what this is, or what it means! I am a bit of a coding newbie, especially for java 8. I am not even sure if that's the problem!

May have actually just been a bug. I tried creating the same line a different way, with no errors. — Pocketkid2, Dec 25 '14 at 01:34
use Byte Object instead of a primitive byte eg. public HashSet transparent; — Kostas Kryptos, Dec 25 '14 at 01:38

You have to use the byte wrapper class Byte. Generics cannot use primitive types
