Fwd: Valid java 5 code refuses to compile with lambda-8-b81-linux-x64-12_mar_2013

[Sven Reimers]

Is this one similiar?

private void testMethod() {
        XYChart<Number, Number> numberChart = new LineChart<>(new NumberAxis(),
new NumberAxis());
        List<XYChart.Data<Number, Number>> data_1 = new ArrayList<>();
        List<XYChart.Data<Number, Number>> data_2 = new ArrayList<>();
        numberChart.getData().setAll(Arrays.asList(
                        new XYChart.Series<>("Data",
FXCollections.observableList(data_1)),
                        new XYChart.Series<>("Data",
FXCollections.observableList(data_2))));
    }

Thanks

-Sven

P.S. I think it worked in one build (b77?) and stopped working with one of
the next ones...
