Is is an error? It's normally it's just a warning
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details.

It means you're using the java5.0 compiler and you have old 1.4 style code with unchecked generics - if you want to you can update your code to use generics, but the old 1.4 unchecked code will still work fine.
