Compiling Bug2 yields: "The method eval(String) of type Bug2.Foo must 
override a superclass method", which is the same error as in javac5 but
has been obsolete for a while now: javac6 accepts it. Strictly speaking 
this is probably a duplicate of Bug 167262 but IMO that bug does not 
strike the correct note of urgency: we get hard errors, no warnings, 
and must make lots of changes when porting from javac, only to have to 
undo them again when ecj is fixed.
