[ BUILD # : 201109070600 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.7 ]

The following Method handle test fails to run in NetBeans IDE 7.1 9/7 build:

import java.lang.invoke.MethodHandle;
import java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup;
import static java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.lookup;
import static java.lang.invoke.MethodType.methodType;

public class MethodHandleTest {
  public static void main(String... args) throws Throwable {
    methodHandleTest();
  }

  private static void methodHandleTest() throws Throwable {
    final Lookup lookup = lookup();
    MethodHandle multiply = lookup.findStatic(MethodHandleTest.class, "add",
methodType(int.class, int.class, int.class));
    System.out.println(multiply.invoke(3, 2)); // should print 5
  }

  public static int add(int i, int j) {
    return i + j;
  }

}

The exception I get is:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.invoke.WrongMethodTypeException: cannot
convert MethodHandle(int,int)int to (Object[])Object
	at java.lang.invoke.MethodHandle.asType(MethodHandle.java:691)

Java Result: 1


This is a valid code and runs outside NetBeans IDE just fine.
