org.yaml.snakeyaml.Yaml yaml = new org.yaml.snakeyaml.Yaml(new Constructor()) reports undefined Constructor

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. When trying to construct a Yaml instance with a Constructor argument in 
Eclipse, Eclipse reports an undefined Constructor. Only default and Dumper 
constructor are visible

This occurs on SnakeYML 1.8 and 1.7 and Java 1.5.12

Are you sure you imported Constructor from SnakeYAML ?
Can you please show the complete source which fails to compile ?

Here's the complete source:
package com.flirtomatic;

import org.yaml.snakeyaml.Yaml;
import org.yaml.snakeyaml.constructor.Constructor;

public class YamlTest {

    public void wontAllowYamlWithConstructor(){
        //Just using String.class as an example
        Constructor constructor = new Constructor(String.class);
        Yaml yaml = new Yaml(constructor);
    }
}

It seems that its specific to Eclipse as compilation outside of Eclipse 
succeeds. snakeyaml is definitely on my Eclipse build path.

Actually, I just removed the testng jar from my Eclipse build path and the 
above code now compiles (in Eclipse). There's a class in testNg called Yaml as 
well so I guess Eclipse was not distinguishing classes properly. And now that 
I've re-added the testng jar, Eclipse is still happy(!) Very strange, but its 
not a SnakeYAML issue. 
Thanks anyway.

I assume you use TestNG 6.0:
