Description Robin Rosenberg CLA 2002-08-02 20:13:07 EDT 
When an initialized array is used directly Eclipse is incompatible with JDK     
1.3/1.4. Both lines compile without warning with Sun's compiler.    
   
The workaround is simple, just add parentheses.    
    
class as {    
 {     
    int x=new int[] { 1,3,4 }[0]; // Syntax error on token "[", ";" expected    
    int y=(new int[] { 1,3,4 })[0]; //     
 }    
}    
    
My platform is Eclipse GTK, build 200206271827, Linux Mandrake 8.2 i586.

This was fixed with the latest changes in the parser.
I checked that this code compiles fine using the integration build 1210.

Verified.
