error log

Build ID: I20070625-1500

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Create a Java project and include the attached source file BadClass.java
2. Compile it


More information:

The attached example was simplified and it only contains the error cause.

The intent of the method is to do the following assignment
 People oPeople;
 {oPeople= (People) obj;}

Since the automated tool which made the source invoked Class.toString() instead of Class.getName() the resulting code was

class People oPeople;
{oPeople= (class People) obj;} 

When compiling, an internal compiler error occurs.
It DOES NOT occur unless the assignment is done inside its own scope. (i.e, the following example do not compiles, 
but the compiler errors are fine)

class People oPeople;
oPeople= (class People) obj;

All this examples are included into the attachment. You may also need a People class which may be implemented as:

public class People {}
