Cannot find symbol variable date

[Vojta]

Please, what is wrong in code below? Why do I get compiler error "cannot
find symbol variable date" in compareTo method of class TestItem?

Thank you!

public class Test<TestItem> implements Iterable<TestItem> {

public class TestItem implements Comparable<TestItem> {

public Date date;

public TestItem() {
}

public int compareTo(TestItem anotherItem) {
return date.compareTo(anotherItem.date);
^
*** Cannot find symbol: variable date ***___|

}
}

private Vector<TestItem> items;

public Test() {
items = new Vector<TestItem>();
}

public Iterator<TestItem> iterator() {
return items.iterator();
}

}

Let me answer your question with a counter question. What is the intention of
the following line?

public class Test<TestItem> implements Iterable<TestItem> {

^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^
