Description
The recovery logic applied when 'catch' is found w/o a matching 'try' is too weak and leads to confusing error messages, especially when lambda expression support is enabled.
class Test {
void test() {
catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
}
}
produces the following errors:
Test.java:984: error: 'catch' without 'try'
catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
^
Test.java:984: error: lambda expressions are not supported in -source 1.8
catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
^
(use -source 8 or higher to enable lambda expressions)
Test.java:984: error: -> expected
catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
^
Test.java:984: error: not a statement
catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
^
Test.java:984: error: ';' expected
catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
^
