JDK 8
8u40 b15Fixed
Description
FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_25-b17)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.25-b02, mixed mode)


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I got exception when compiling this code:

import java.util.Collection;

public class CollectionUtils {

    public static boolean nullsOnly(Collection<?> collection) {

        return collection.stream().
                reduce(true,
                        (collector, value) -> collector && (value == null),
                        (collector1, collector2) -> collector1 && collector2);

    }
}

I am trying to write a test for it but I can't compile it - I am not sure if it does what is should.

Exception from console (maven build) but Intellij also crashes compilation.

An exception has occurred in the compiler (1.8.0_25). Please file a bug at the Java Developer Connection (http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport)  after checking the Bug Parade for duplicates. Include your program and the following diagnostic in your report.  Thank you.
