ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.8+10-LTS, mixed mode)
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
A regression occurred when I migrated my code from java 8 to java 11, and javac 11 compiler report an error now systematically
REGRESSION : Last worked in version 8
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
compiling project with a javac 11.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
compiler must infer correct lambda return type and throws exception without errors
ACTUAL -
unreported exception IOException; must be caught or declared to be thrown
.map(Lambda.function(resource -> Mapper.toString(resource),
