Timo Walther commented on FLINK-1062:
-------------------------------------

I talked to Stephan about the problems we have with type erasure in non-Eclipse 
compilers. He suggested the following subtasks:

 - Configure JDT compiler in the examples project -> I will do this in another 
PR
 - Configure JDT compiler for our quickstart projects -> I will do this in 
another PR
 - Do Type Extraction and check if generics are lost, give a meaningful 
exception -> Done in my latest commit
 - Give the possibility to annotate the types (as String , e.g: "(Long, 
Double)" for Tuple2...) -> Annotations for lambdas seem not to be possible yet 
(see also 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22375891/annotating-the-functional-interface-of-a-lambda-expression),
 any ideas?

> Lambdas currently work only for {{filter}} and {{reduce(a,b)}}, because 
> Lambda type extraction is not in place right now.
> We need to extend the type extraction for lambdas to support the other 
> functions.
