Description atehrani 2009-09-24 21:30:10 UTC 
The latest EA release of JDK7 includes the usage of the "diamond operator". Creating a source file with the diamond
operator compiles and run fine on the command line. However, it is partially supported in Netbeans. Meaning, the project
will compile using "Clean and Build". But will show syntax error in the editor and not run from within Netbeans. Even if
you set the source to JDK7.

java version "1.7.0-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-ea-b72)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 17.0-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

I was under the impression that Netbeans plugs into the JDK compiler API and therefore should automatically obtain these
language changes?

The support for JDK7 features is currently planned as post 6.8. However, if you want, experimental build containing some
initial NB support for JDK7 features (diamond operator, string in switch) can be found at
