Error with Java String in declaration in intellij

Question

I've updated my intellij to 2017.2.5 and imported all the projects. For some reason, declaration and constructors show some error with Strings. e.g. private String type = "abc"; and name = " xyz"; Error asks me to change it to java.lang.string as a solution.

Jdk is up to date. libraries are up to date, so what is the problem? Project structure looks ok. How do I fix this?

Post all code and errors here directly as text.

Just delete the line:

import org.apache.xpath.operations.String

This is causing a type conflict between java.lang.String (what you want) and an Apache class (which you probably don't want).
