Resource specification not allowed error

问题

I'm getting the following error when running this java code in eclipse.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems:    Resource specification not allowed here for source level below 1.7  The type Transaction is not visible     tx cannot be resolved

    at neo4jTesting.EmbeddedNeo4j.createDb(EmbeddedNeo4j.java:52)   at neo4jTesting.EmbeddedNeo4j.main(EmbeddedNeo4j.java:38)

Here is the code

    {
        // Registers a shutdown hook for the Neo4j instance so that it
        // shuts down nicely when the VM exits (even if you "Ctrl-C" the
        // running application).
        Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook( new Thread()
        {
            @Override
            public void run()
            {
                graphDb.shutdown();
            }
        } );
    }
    // END SNIPPET: shutdownHook }

The code source is from https://github.com/neo4j/neo4j/blob/master/community/embedded-examples/src/main/java/org/neo4j/examples/EmbeddedNeo4j.java

My apologies for the wall of code, but I have no idea how to demonstrate the problem with a simpler solution.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Edit 1

Thanks, I've updated Java to 1.7 and have been greeted with a new error. This is from the Eclipse, not the compiler.

The resource type Transaction does not implement java.lang.AutoCloseable

Once again, any help appreciated.

回答1:

You're using the try-with-resources syntax (try ( Transaction tx = graphDb.beginTx() )), but you're compiling with a source level of 1.6. Update your source compliance to 1.7 if possible (Java 6 is EOL now, and Java 8 is available in public beta), or use the old-style try-catch-finally block.
