Getting error on parsring if Genrics are used in code

[sumitg...@gmail.com]

Code i am trying to parse has a map declaration Map<String, String> dataMap = new HashMap<>(); when i try to pares this using javaparser , it gives error as below
Exception in thread "main" japa.parser.ParseException: Encountered " "<" "< "" at line 15, column 58.
Was expecting one of:
    "(" ...
    "(" ...

does javaparser supports generic declaration ?

This is happening because the JaraParser is not compatible with Java 7. You are using the diamond operator available only in Java 7, and the JavaParser is compliant only with Java 6.

If you change your declaration to
Map<String, String> dataMap = new HashMap<String, String>();

It will work.

Atenciosamente,

Hi!

You can find support for Java 7 and 8 sources on the active fork: https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser
