JDK 8 - Lambda - Reflection issues

[Pavel Bucek]

Hello all,

I have an issue with getting generic parameter when using lambdas. I can 
get the type when using anonymous classes.

code sample will be more descriptive than anything I would say, so.. :

public class Main {

    public static interface A<T> {
        public void method(T param);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        final A<Main> anonClass = new A<Main>() {
            @Override
            public void method(Main param) {
                System.out.println("234");
            }
        };

        final A<Main> lambda = param -> System.out.println("234");

        //following does not help.
        // final A<Main> lambda = (A<Main>)param -> 
System.out.println("234");


        // output: Main.Main$A<Main>
        System.out.println("$ " + 
anonClass.getClass().getGenericInterfaces()[0]);

        // output: interface Main$A          ### generic type info is 
already lost (no <Main>)
        System.out.println("# " + 
lambda.getClass().getGenericInterfaces()[0]);

        // parameterized type from annon class
        final Type t = 
((ParameterizedType)anonClass.getClass().getGenericInterfaces()[0]).getActualTypeArguments()[0];
        System.out.println("$ " + t);

        // parameterized type from lambda
        System.out.println("# " + "???");
    }
}

I was not able to find any useful documentation or article about this, 
so sorry if this is something common - feel free to RTM me (with 
relevant link please).

Thanks and regards,
Pavel
