Two Problem with Method Reference

[Howard Lovatt]

Hi,

I have found a coup[le of problems with the latest version of JDK 7 in
the Mercurial repository. For:

95:    final ActionListener al4 = Main#print( ActionEvent );
96:    b1.addActionListener( al4 );
97:    b1.doClick();

and:

  private static void print( final ActionEvent notUsed ) {
    out.println( "Main.print method called" );
  }

It compiles OK, but when run I get:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError: JVM cannot find
invoker for (ActionEvent)void
	at sun.dyn.Invokers.exactInvoker(Invokers.java:74)
	at sun.dyn.Invokers.genericInvoker(Invokers.java:82)

	at java.dyn.MethodHandle.invokeVarargs(MethodHandle.java:468)

	at javax.swing.AbstractButton.doClick(AbstractButton.java:356)
	at lambdas.Main.lambdas(Main.java:97)
	at lambdas.Main.main(Main.java:23)

If I remove static from the method definition:

  private void print( final ActionEvent notUsed ) {
    out.println( "Main.print method called" );
  }

Then when run I get:

Exception in thread "main" java.dyn.WrongMethodTypeException: cannot

Hope everyone is having a good holiday (I count playing with JDK 7 as
relaxation!),
