Slick addState java.lang.Error

Ok, so I'm doing something wrong and I can't figure out what. I'm following a tutorial about building a simple game with Slick. I know there is almost nothing in the code, but at this point the code should be able to compile.

package javagame;
import org.newdawn.slick.*;
import org.newdawn.slick.state.*;
public class Game extends StateBasedGame{

    public static final String gamename = "Game name!";
    public static final int menu = 0;
    public static final int play = 1;

    public Game(String gamename){
        super(gamename);
        this.addState(new Menu(menu));
        this.addState(new Play(play));  
    }

    public void initStatesList(GameContainer gc) throws SlickException{
        this.getState(menu).init(gc, this);
        this.getState(play).init(gc, this);
        this.enterState(menu);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        AppGameContainer appgc;
        try{
            appgc = new AppGameContainer(new Game(gamename));
            appgc.setDisplayMode(640, 360, false);
            appgc.start();
        }catch(SlickException e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }    
}

And here are the classes 

package javagame;

import org.newdawn.slick.*;
import org.newdawn.slick.state.*;

public class Play {

    public Play(int state){
    }

    public void init(GameContainer gc, StateBasedGame sbg) throws SlickException{
    }

    public void render(GameContainer gc, StateBasedGame sbg, Graphics g) throws SlickException{ 
    }

    public void update(GameContainer gc, StateBasedGame sbg, int delta) throws SlickException{
    }

    public int getID(){ 
        return 1;
    }

}

and

package javagame;

import org.newdawn.slick.*;
import org.newdawn.slick.state.*;

public class Menu {

    public Menu(int state){
    }

    public void init(GameContainer gc, StateBasedGame sbg) throws SlickException{
    }

    public void render(GameContainer gc, StateBasedGame sbg, Graphics g) throws SlickException{
    }

    public void update(GameContainer gc, StateBasedGame sbg, int delta) throws SlickException{
    }

    public int getID(){ 
        return 0;
    }

}

The error: 

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems: 
    The method addState(GameState) in the type StateBasedGame is not applicable for the arguments (Menu)
    The method addState(GameState) in the type StateBasedGame is not applicable for the arguments (Play)

As Game extends StateBasedGame and it does not override addState(), when you say this.addState(new Menu(menu)); it is trying to call method defined in StateBasedGame API referance

So your Menu and Play class should be sub class of GameState
