Description ryenus ' CLA 2005-09-28 23:24:24 EDT 
Hey,

Eclipse lies!

I wrote a simple statement: 
    System.out.println(null instanceof String);

the output is surely "false", but the problem is the warning tip, it says:
    the expression of type null is already an instance of type String.

O.M.G.
