Consider supporting method references?

[cherrydev]

Since method references ( object::method ) are closely related to lambda expressions, have you considered supporting them in retrolambda?

[evant]

You should ask this under retrolamda. This is only for the gradle plugin. They should already be supported though.

Thanks!

According to this issue: luontola/retrolambda#17 method references SHOULD work. When I tried it, I got a NPE at the site of the assignment:

private Runnable myThing = mField::method

[evant]

You should open an issue there then. It's very unlikely this plugin is the cause. You should try to minimize it to a small sample project that reproduces it.

I'm pretty sure method references already work. Make sure mField is not null itself.

I'm going to assume that there is no issue here.
