Error using toList() of Collectors

[Venkat Subramaniam]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to use the new Collectors class.

    List<Integer> numbers = Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3);

    //This works
    List<Integer> numbers1 = numbers.stream()
      .collect(toCollection(ArrayList<Integer>::new));
      
    //This does not
    List<Integer> numbers2 = numbers.stream()
      .collect(toList());

    /*
     error: incompatible types: inferred type does not conform to upper bound(s)
          .collect(toList());
                  ^
        inferred: List<Object>
        upper bound(s): List<Integer>,Object
    1 error
    */

Is this the expected behavior or am I missing something quite basic here?

Thanks,

Venkat
