Build ID: M20071023-1652

Steps To Reproduce:
0. the bug itself is hard to describe: for short, something that used to compile with Eclipse 3.2 doesn't any more with 3.3.1.1 
1. create a simple java project
2. add the classes provided below
3. see by yourself the project doesn't compile
 (it won't with Eclipse 3.3.1.1, but it will with any 3.2.X) - for sources, see below. It may be necessary to clean up the project or remove the .class files if you switch from an Eclipse version to another
4. the quick fix feature is screwed up - the suggestion is useless, the operation too...
5. the problem occurs weather you're using Sun VM or BEA JRockit...
