Reproduced with Eclipse 3.2M6 on Windows XP, but also reproduced by a colleague (i.e. uncomfirmed) on Eclipse 3.1.2
Running on Sun JDK 1.5.0

This is not a problem in the 5.0 compiler compliance level.

Set the compliance level to 1.3 or 1.4 (with default compliance settings), and put the following classes in a project:

public interface I {
}

public class A implements I {
}

public class B implements I {
}

public class Test {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		I i = true ? new A() : new B();
	}
}

The ternary operator line shows an error and says "Incompatible conditional operand types A and B"
