java比较器匿名,Java 7->无法使用比较器推断类型

When I use java 7 to compile a code using PriorityQueue with Comparator, compiler sends error:

cannot infer type arguments for Comparator;

Comparator> colorComparator = new Comparator<>() {

^

reason: cannot use '<>' with anonymous inner classes

Why this, and how can I compile me code:

Comparator> colorComparator = new Comparator>() {

@Override

public int compare(Map.Entry o1, Map.Entry o2) {

return o1.getKey().intValue() - o2.getKey().intValue();

}

};

PriorityQueue> minHeap = new PriorityQueue<>(colorComparator);

解决方案

It is a limitation in java-7 the <> operator is not supported for anonymous classes

It is a compile-time error if a class instance creation expression declares an anonymous class using the "<>" form for the class's type arguments.

But from jdk-9 <> operators is supported for anonymous classes

Allow the diamond with anonymous classes if the argument type of the inferred type is denotable.

So to resolve this issue either upgrade java 7 to java 9 or just define the generic parameters like second approach in your example

Comparator> colorComparator = new Comparator>()
