For some reason, I cannot create the following class:

SpecialFileTransferDescriber

Eclipse gives me an error saying:

[X] Creation of element failed.

Illegal UTF8 string in constant pool in class file
org/eclipse/jdt/internal/compiler/batch/CompilationUnit

why is that? what's so special about this class name? (well, yeah, the
class has the word "special" in it, but...)

:(

What version of Eclipse are you using?

Does this happen within a new project in a fresh, empty workspace?

Are there any entries in the Eclipse error log?

Looks like a corrupted file.

In [workspace root]/.metadata/.log.

Or you can view it within Eclipse, with the Error Log view (I think in PDE
Runtime perspective).
