final Object var;

try
{
 var = doSomethingThatThrowsAnException();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
 var = doFallback(); // error
}

results in "The final local variable var may already have been assigned", what 
seems to be incorrect.

This is the result of conservative flow analysis. 

Javac agrees with us.
