Problem in timestamp

Question

I am working on opensource project and i am buiding it from source.
it will work on jdk1.5 and orackle 10g, when i am buindling, i am getting error of timestamp as:
"reference to Timestamp is ambiguous, both class java.sql.Timestamp in java.sql a
nd class java.security.Timestamp in java.security match
[javac] Timestamp ConvDate, String RateType, int AD_Client_ID, i
nt AD_Org_ID)"
first I tried with jdk5.0 as in the sun site in compatbility it is given timestamp function is removedin jdk5.0, and j2se5.0 is having that function.so I tried with it but I am getting the same error.
How can I include Timestamp function in j2se, so that i can over come this problem.plz help me out.

what's the datatype for the column? If it is a TIMESTAMP, you get the zero's for free. You can't remove them... when you don't want to display them, use TO_CHAR (as Boneist showed you)
SQL> create table t
