Description Frederic Fusier 2006-01-18 10:21:04 EST

Using build I20060117-0800 but also happens with build I20060103-0800.

I've created a project called "JDK15" with "src" source folder in which I've imported sources of Sun JDK 1.5.0. I try to build my workspace and get following exceptions:

Seems to be a regression as this does not happen with 3.2 M4.

Note that symptom is the same using VM 1.4 or 1.5 to run eclipse session...
