I have the following code. It is giving me several errors

 Syntax error on tokens, delete these tokens
 Syntax error on token(s), misplaced construct(s)
 Syntax error on token ")", delete this token

on the code

SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> {
    init();
});

Is there something wrong with this code or is my Java just not working properly?

are you using Java 8? Post a [mcve] – Reimeus Oct 11 '15 at 12:01
Are you using Eclipse? If so, what Java Compiler compliance level? Do lambdas work at all for you? – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Oct 11 '15 at 12:08
I am using JDK1.8.0_60 – apilat Oct 11 '15 at 12:18
I am using Eclipse, however the error occurs even when compiling from console. My Java Compiler compliance level is 1.7 – apilat Oct 11 '15 at 12:26

Well heck, first of all, change the compliance level to 1.8. – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Oct 11 '15 at 12:30
Actually I don't even have the 1.8 option. The highest is 1.7 for me :/ – apilat Oct 11 '15 at 12:32

Add your JDK 1.8 into Eclipse's "Installed JREs" tab as described in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13635563/setting-jdk-in-eclipse and also check you Eclipse version Java 8 supported by Luna and later – Andrew Oct 11 '15 at 12:39
@Andrew Thank you! The problem was that I had too old version of Eclipse. – apilat Oct 11 '15 at 13:56
