I20040506 + jdt.core, jdt.ui from HEAD

In the following piece of code, 'unnecessary else statement' problem is only
reported for the first 'else', no the second one.

boolean test= true;
if (test) {
  return;
} else { // problem correctly reported here
}
if (test) {
  return;
} else if (test) { // problem no reported here
}

It is not flagging else-if on purpose so as to preserve this code pattern.
