I think I have found a case where eclipse does not recompile something when it 
should. I made a change in one file that should have caused several other files 
to be recompiled, but they were not. Instead I see compile errors in those 
other files. When I did a project "Rebuild", the errors went away (or if I 
manually edit and save the other files, that also works, but I'd rather not do 
that because these files are in CVS and non-edits are a pain). Anyway, eclipse 
has always been very good about recompiling until this. I've managed to 
reproduce it in a small test case which is attached to this report. To make the 
problem appear, do this:

1. Add a method to AnInterface, e.g.:
	void c();
2. Observe that (correct) compile errors appear in ASuperclass.java and 
AClass.java. 

3. In AStaticClass (which is inside ASuperclass.java), add an implmentation for 
this new method, e.g.:
	public void c() {}
4. This should make all compile errors go away, but observe that AClass.java 
still shows errors. If you simply do a project Rebuild at this point, the 
errors go away. Or if you make a non-edit/save in AClass.java, the errors go 
away.
