Summary: Upgrade the compiler for lambda b76 @ jdk8lambda

Component: CompilerAssignee: Dusan Balek <dbalek>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description misterm 2013-02-13 14:14:12 UTC 
One of the most important improvements in b76 is the improved inference that allows expressions such as:

Collection<String> strings = myCollection.parallelStream().map(Functions.string()).collect(toList());

to compile without requiring Collectors.<String>toList() to be used explicitly. The current compiler shipped in the editor does not contain such improvements yet, making it hard to use lambda.

Comment 1 Dusan Balek 2013-02-20 14:18:38 UTC 
Should be fixed in current dev build.
