[eclipse-dev] Re: Eclipse Compiler change notification

[Philippe_Mulet@xxxxxxx]

I realize I forgot to mention how to fix it: you should qualify the access
to the enclosing method, e.g.

class T {
      void foo(boolean b) {}
}

public class X {
      void foo(int i) {}
      void bar() {
            new T() {
                  {
                        X.this.foo(0); // Qualified access is OK
                  }
            };
      }
}

The Eclipse compiler used to accept the following incorrect code (javac
1.3.1 and 1.4 would reject it) :

------
class T {
      void foo(boolean b) {}
}

public class X {
      void foo(int i) {}
      void bar() {
            new T() {
                  {
                        foo(0); // Inherited method should prevail
                  }
            };
      }
}
------

A fix for this will soon be released, and will cause some Eclipse code to
be flagged as incorrect in (based on 20020125 sources):
