Hi! Build/Compiling Spring Boot (2.0.2 Release) with Gradle 4.8, Goovy 2.4.12, Ant 1.9.11 on MacBookPro running JVM 1.8.0_25.
Failed to compile on package org.springframework.beans.support
class PropertyComparator. It seems there is a type mismatch at/around line 135.
Here is the error:
—
error: incompatible types:
PropertyComparator
Was able to get the class to compile by removing the generic at line 136:
136 // source.sort(new PropertyComparator<>(sortDefinition)); 137 source.sort(new PropertyComparator(sortDefinition));
If there is a better solution, please let me know.
Thanks rwhite35
Affects: 5.0.1

Could you try a newer JDK 8 release please? There have been a few bugs in javac's generics handling in recent years, and our code is generally known to compile fine with recent JDK 8 releases (in particular JDK 8 update 102 and later).

Hi Juergen,
Yep, that seems to have corrected the issue. Updated JDK from 1.8.0_25 to 1.8.0_171, changed the code back to the released version and re-ran the build. Project built successfully without any errors.
Thank! rwhite35
