Build ID: Build id: M20080221-1800 Steps To Reproduce: More information: Hi, we are translating JDT runtime, our translator has some questions, would appreciate if someone could help answer them - 1. please be so kind and explain what/who is super in the segment below: HEAD\runtimes\plugins\nl\com.ibm.eclipse.jdt.core\org\eclipse\jdt\internal\compiler\problem\messages.properties (659) The method {0} is overriding a method without making a super invocation Please explain what is made with this 'super invocation' 2. please explain what is going in the sentence below: HEAD\runtimes\plugins\nl\com.ibm.eclipse.jdt.debug\jdimodel_jar\org\eclipse\jdi\internal\JDIMessages.properties (190) Improper instance counts between VM and client. Is it about counting mechanism of improper instances?
Sorry, the plugin name should be org.eclipse.jdt.core and org.eclipse.jdt.debug

This is an unexpected internal error. The Java debugger has asked for the number of instances of a list of N specific class names, but the backend (VM) has returned a set X of instances, where X != N. We should really update the message to something like "Requested {N} instance counts but received {X} instance counts." Moving to JCORE for comment on first message.
Thank you for your quick response!
Another one for jdt.core 3. org.eclipse.jdt.core\org\eclipse\jdt\internal\compiler\problem\messages.properties (698) please confirm that null comparison in the sentence below Null comparison always yields false: The variable {0} cannot be null at this location is actually a compare procedure that check whether a value is null.

You can redefine (override) a method in a subtype, and normally a good programming style for the overriding method would be to invoke the method from the super class somehow. 3.org.eclipse.jdt.core\org\eclipse\jdt\internal\compiler\problem\messages.properties >(698) > please confirm that null comparison in the sentence below > Null comparison always yields false: The variable {0} cannot be null at this location > is actually a compare procedure that check whether a value is null. Yes this is correct.
Thank you!
Close the bug
Resolving as INVALID because this is rather a question than a bug, and we try not to use FIXED, WORKSFORME or WONTFIX in such cases - the question is legitimate and please see no offense in the INVALID keyword.
