Error in Map Interface tutorial?

Question

On page http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/collections/interfaces/map.html in the tutorial, the code example has the line
Map<String, Integer> m = new HashMap<String, Integer>();When I used this in my NetBeans program, it gave an error "type packagename.Map does not take parameters" ('packagename' substituted for the name of my package).
When I changed the 'Map' on the LHS to 'HashMap' it was OK.
I did previously have a class called Map which I refactored to something else - I checked the sources and no references to the old name remain. Maybe this has something to do with it?

dust out your project's folders. In a pinch, this will always work:
java.util.Map<String, Integer> m = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
