Switch on String shouldn't this work in GWT 2.6 / Java 7 ?

[darkflame]

Something like ;

switch (book) {

case "Harry Potter":

break;

case "Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy":

break; 

Should now work with the latest GWT from here;

Correct?

Because I am still getting a "   [ERROR] Line 1971: Cannot switch on a value of type String. Only convertible int values or enum constants are permitted "

error.
Screenshot;

Have I somehow setup GWT 2.6 wrongly?

Thanks,

Using switch() with strings works in GWT 2.6. I guess you have to double check your setup. Maybe you have used an old run configuration that is not up-to-date?

Ah, Bingo...it was either down to not clearing the cache's, or the fact a non-GWT 2.6 project was being inherited in.
Fixing both of those and it works.

*goes of to enjoy Java7*

Try it! You might even feel ambivalent about it :)
