Eclipse compiler does not provide info about enclosing class and enclosing method for local classes.
The following test being compiled with javac prints needed names while Eclipse compiler prints null:

import java.lang.reflect.*;

public class TestLocalClass {

	public void test() throws NoSuchMethodException, IllegalAccessException, InvocationTargetException {

		class LocalClass {
			public void method() {
			}
		};

		LocalClass localClass = new LocalClass();
		Class cc = localClass.getClass();
		System.out.println("enclosing class = " + cc.getEnclosingClass());
		System.out.println("enclosing method = " + cc.getEnclosingMethod());

	}

	public static void main(String args[]) {

		TestLocalClass t = new TestLocalClass();
		try {
			t.test();
		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
}
