I am using NetBeans 8. When my code contains a Lambda expression and I try to compile, I get the following error message:

lambda expression not expected here

lambda expressions are not supported in -source 1.5
  (use -source 8 or higher to enable lambda expressions)
----
(Alt-Enter shows hints)

Please click right from you project -> Properties -> Choose Sources -> (you will see Source/Binary Format) change it to 1.8 -> Click OK.
