From the java language spec section 8.9:

It is a compile-time error to reference a static field of an enum type that is not [final] from constructors 
[...].

The following compiles with the eclipse compiler, but not with javac:

public enum Static {
	A(1),B(3);	
	static int used = 0;
	final int pos;
	Static(int j) {
		pos = used += j;
	}	
}
