Java 8 for OSX but not lamba

[Henri Gomez]

Hi to all,

I guess JDK 8 and Lambda gurus are around (ie: Remy).

I build JDK8 for OSX and package it in openjdk-osx-build project :

http://openjdk-osx-build.googlecode.com/files/OpenJDK-OSX-8-x64-jdk-b29-20120314.dmg

I tried a sample code from
http://aruld.info/lambda-expressions-in-java-8-adopts-c-style-syntax/
:

public class Sample4 {

  enum Decision {
    APPROVE, DECLINE, APPROVE_REFER
  }

  interface DecisionService {
    Decision getRiskDecision(Applicant applicant);
  }

  class Applicant {
    private int score;

    public Applicant(int score) {
      this.score = score;
    }

    public int getScore() {
      return score;
    }
  }

  public void test() {
    DecisionService cs = (a) -> {
    if (a.getScore() > 700) {
      return Decision.APPROVE;
    } else if (a.getScore() > 600 && a.getScore() < 650) {
      return Decision.APPROVE_REFER;
    } else {
      return Decision.DECLINE;
    }};
    Decision decision = cs.getRiskDecision(new Applicant(800));
    System.out.println(decision.toString());
  }

  public static void main(String... args) {
    new Sample4().test();
  }
}


Bur javac failed to compile it :

Sample4.java:24: error: lambda expressions are not supported in -source 1.8
    DecisionService cs = (a) -> {
                             ^
  (use -source 8 or higher to enable lambda expressions)
1 error


* Did Lambda support is not yet in jdk8/jdk8 branch ?
* Why did javac complain about source 1.8 and ask for -source 8 (tried
to force it but same error)

Cheers
