Answer 1

Here is the Answer to your Question:

The error says it all The type List is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments type. It means when you configured the List as in List linkElements, accidentally you have imported it from java.awt.List where it is not defined. Hence the error.

The following screenshot shows it all:

Solution:

As a solution, I have used your own code importing java.util.List instead of java.awt.List and your code block works just fine:

package demo;

import java.util.List;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class Q45402867_tagname_a {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe");  
        WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
        String baseUrl="https://www.udacity.com/";
        driver.get(baseUrl);
        String Title="Udacity - Free Online Courses and Nanodegree Programs";
        List linkElements = driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));
        System.out.println(linkElements.size());
        for (WebElement ele:linkElements)
        System.out.println(ele);
    }

}

The output on the console is:

86
[[FirefoxDriver: firefox on ANY (ef81931f-9530-4998-8405-6581ab51c86e)] -> tag name: a]
...  84 more ...
[[FirefoxDriver: firefox on ANY (ef81931f-9530-4998-8405-6581ab51c86e)] -> tag name: a]
