Try With Resources Not Supported at This Language Level

Question

I\'m using IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate 2016.2.1, have set Project SDK to my 1.8 version, Project Language Level to 8, Module SDK to my 1.8 version, and JDK home path to /Library/Java

Answer 1

Make sure your try-with-resources is using the correct semantics. For instance, this:

try (new BufferedReader(request.getReader())) {

}

will produce that same error message.
