Compare to 1 Uncheked warning - Needs generics

Question

I get an "unchecked" warning when compiling (for failing to use generics...). Please help me with this (optimally by revising my code to be generics compliant)! Not that I am quite unfamiliar with generics, and hence could not revise this myself, a brief explanation of your revisions would also be nice.
public static void sort(Comparable[] array) { //suppress warning for failing to use generics
    Comparable smallest = array[0]; //stores the smallest object
    int smallestLocation = 0; //stores the index of the smallest object
    for (int front = 0; front < array.length-1;front++) {
      smallest = array[front]; //reset variables
      smallestLocation = front;
      for (int i = front;i < array.length;i++) {
        if (smallest.compareTo(array) > 0) { //this if statement sets the smallest location based on comparing every element in the array *error occurs here*
smallest = array[i];
smallestLocation = i;
swap(front,smallestLocation,array); //puts the smallest element at the front of the array
}Thanks.

I have read those! You must have tired out near the end, then. The relevant section (I think) is here:
[http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/extra/generics/fineprint.html|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/extra/generics/fineprint.html]
which is near the end of the second tutorial you say you read. (The section headed "Arrays"...) However, frankly, I would modify the method to look like this:
public static void sort(Object[] array) {
  Arrays.sort(array);
}
