Hello, community!
Hello Ivan,
I noticed a new error since b134: "Cannot use '<>' with anonymous inner
classes".
The code uses diamond syntax and was error-free before b134.
(Please see reproducible example at the end.)
Can someone explain: is this error even intended?
Yes.
see http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7020044
If so, why this is necessary?
Quote from JSR334 (coin) EDR:
Using diamond with anonymous inner classes is /not/ supported since
doing so would require extensions to the class file signature attribute,
a de facto JVM change.
If not, is it possible to revert to old behavior?
No
(BTW: Latest Netbeans even allow to refactor anon-inner-classes to use diamond
syntax.)
Best regards,
Ivan G Shevchenko
