I got this error when creating a final double using underscores to make the double more readable. It was declared in a run()
method.
public void run() {
final double nanoSeconds = 1_000_000_000.0 / 60.0;
}
I'm using IntelliJ IDEA 12.
In IntelliJ IDEA
you have to change Project language level
in project settings to 7.0
level:
Yes..you need to change the default language level settings if you are using and IDE. For IntelliJ users it is under File --> Project Structure --> Projects.
I found with my project that had modules, I had to do this in the modules settings as well.
