Sample enum that should compile none

Description James Leone CLA 2006-06-28 12:56:55 EDT 
The attaced java file will compile when using javac with the following JDK:

java version "1.5.0_06"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_06-b05, mixed mode)

Eclipse gives the following compilation error:
Cannot refer to enum field State.INITIAL within an initializer

I have seen bugs similar to the topic (such as #101713) however the notes claim that bug was fixed in a September release of 3.1.1  This problem appears in the most recent 3.1.1 release and 3.1.2 release making me believe it is different.

Comment 2 Olivier Thomann CLA 2006-06-28 13:08:03 EDT 
javac 6.0b88 agrees with us:
X.java:5: illegal reference to static field from initializer
            System.out.printf("After the %s constructor\n",INITIAL);
                                                           ^
1 error

but javac 1.5.0_07 compiles it fine. Looks like a bug has been fixed.
If you qualify the access, then it compiles fine with both Eclipse and javac 6.0b88.

public enum State {
    INITIAL ,
    OPENED {
        {
            System.out.printf("After the %s constructor\n",State.INITIAL);
        }
    }
}

Closing as dup of bug 101713.
