I updated my Eclipse how you tell us. But it dosen´t work.
The reserved type name var has the color violet and i think eclipse know the new oportunity.
But the Error message is:

var cannot be resolved to a type

why doesn´t work it?

I need youre help.

this is my code sniped:

var list = new ArrayList<String>(); // infers ArrayList<String>
var stream = list.stream(); // infers Stream<String>

// int
var zahl = 5;
// String
var string = "Hello World";
// BigDecimal
var objekt = BigDecimal.ONE;

Sorry ... i post it too fast ...
After updating the version no. is still 4.7.3 and not 4.7.3a!
Before updateing Eclipse leav the color of var black
After updating Eclipse change automatically the color of var to violet.
