FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
NOTE THAT ECLIPSE IS USING 1.8.0_05, but here is the output requested:
C:\>java -version
java version "1.8.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_45-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.45-b02, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows 7 Enterprise
Service Pack 1

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Error occurred in Eclipse IDE:
Spring Tool Suite
Version: 3.6.3.SR1
Build Id: 201501121239
Platform: Eclipse Luna SR1 (4.4.1)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I am entering this bug report because the compiler error message asked me to.

When I replaced an anonymous inner class:

protected static final String SELECT_RDR_COLUMNS = "SELECT " + getColumnList(new IColumnFormatter() {

@Override
public String formatColumn(final RdrEntryColumn column) {
return "e." + column.name();
}

});

 with (an attempt at) a lambda expression:

protected static final String SELECT_RDR_COLUMNS = "SELECT " + getColumnList(
(RdrEntryColumn column) -> "e." + column.name()
);

the compiler gave me this:

[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------------

ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION:
NOTE THAT ECLIPSE IS USING 1.8.0_05, but here is the output requested:
C:\>java -version
java version "1.8.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_45-b14)

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Just run a build in Eclipse.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Either a clean build or an error message telling me what is wrong with the attempt at a lambda expression
ACTUAL -
The javac choke show under Description.

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
See Description

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
It is not possible to include compilable Java source code because the bug is in javac which failed while trying to compile it.

THE PARENT CLASS, RdrEntryDao, CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING:

protected static String getColumnList(final IColumnFormatter formatter) {
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();

boolean first = true;
for (RdrEntryColumn column : RdrEntryColumn.values()) {
if (first) {
first = false;
} else {
builder.append(", ");
}
builder.append(formatter.formatColumn(column));
}
return builder.toString();
}

protected interface IColumnFormatter {
String formatColumn(RdrEntryColumn column);
}

The RdrEntryColumn class is as follows:
public enum RdrEntryColumn {

/** The GUID. */
C_GUID(1),

/** The PROCESSED TIME. */
C_PROCESSED_TIME(2),

/** The VERB. */
C_VERB(3),

/** The NOUN. */
C_NOUN(4),

/** The SOURCE_FILTER_VALUE. */
C_SOURCE_FILTER_VALUE(5),

/** The MESSAGE_ID. */
C_MESSAGE_ID(6),

/**
* The column's position.
*/
private final int position;

/**
* Constructor for the enums.
*
* @param position the position
*/
RdrEntryColumn(final int position) {
this.position = position;
}

/**
* Returns column's position.
* @return column's position.
*/
public int getPosition() {
return position;
}

}

The child class, RdrEntryX7Dao, contains the following:

protected static final String SELECT_RDR_COLUMNS = "SELECT " + getColumnList(
(RdrEntryColumn column) -> "e." + column.name()
);

private static final String SELECT_ENTRY_BY_MESSAGE_ID_S3 = SELECT_RDR_COLUMNS
+ " FROM RDR_ENTRY e "
+ " WHERE e." + RdrEntryColumn.C_MESSAGE_ID + " = ?";

---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
I went back to using the anonymous inner class and gave up on trying to use the lambda expression instead.
