I don't know what it was, but I just copied all of my code and classes into a new sketch and now everything works just fine. weird... thanks anyway!

JimAtArtsnova Ex Member	Re: duplicate nested type error Reply #6 - Mar 22nd, 2009, 5:31am   Hi, Same problem just bit me: "duplicate nested type Line" with Line being the name of my class which was stored in a separate tab/PDE than the main setup() and associated routines. Shut down Processing, restarted Processing, error disappears and code runs fine.

Lone_Pairs YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 11	Re: duplicate nested type error Reply #8 - Mar 9th, 2010, 5:31pm   Just had the same problem, same fix, but I noticed that when I pressed the arrow at the upper right, the little tab menu, one of the tabs was listed twice so it read: Main Class 1 Class 2 Class 2 this happened right after I deleted a tab, so it does sound like something isn't being updated.

Ted Brown YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 3 Eugene, OR	Re: duplicate nested type error Reply #9 - May 31st, 2010, 9:51pm   Seconded, I got this issue in 1.07 after removing a tab.  I was only able to identify the problem by exporting it to a single .java file and manually examining it.  Saving it as a new project did not resolve the problem, but restarting Processing did.
