Description Martin Trummer CLA 2005-07-27 07:12:44 EDT 
Eclipse V3.1.0 Build I20050627-1435

Problem: compile error with the following code

public class Test {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Short s;
		s = 5;  // Type mismatch: cannot convert from int to Short
	}
}

Works fine with javac (JDK 1.5.0_02).

Same type mismatch problem with array initializers:

Short[] shortArray = { 7 };  // Type mismatch
Short[] shortArray = new Short[] { 7 };  // Type mismatch

Both statements work fine with javac (JDK 1.5.0._02)
Comment 2 Philipe Mulet CLA 2005-08-12 10:38:08 EDT 
Indeed, we were only tolerating these in variable declarations.
Fixed.
Added AutoboxingTest#test112-113
