More information:
This error should use fully qualified type names when the message would otherwise be ambiguous.  For example

PreparedStatement stmt; Calendar cal;
stmt.setDate(1, cal.getTime());

will give the error "The method setDate(int, Date) in the type PreparedStatement is not applicable for the arguments 
 (int, Date)"
