[eclipse-dev] Warning: compiler fix for 14013 can cause some existing co

[Philippe_Mulet@xxxxxxx]

The Eclipse Java compiler incorrectly tolerated invalid constant
expressions, such as:

class X {
      final int CST = 0;
      void foo(int i){
            switch(i){
                  case this.CST : break;  // should report "invalid
constant expression"
            }
      }
}

This will be fixed into the next integration build, and may cause some
existing code to be flagged with errors where it did not in the past.
