Description Missing name Mising name 2003-01-02 14:30:51 EST

This error appeared after installing the 2.1 M4 build from Dec. 18, 2002.  

I found that when I removed an inner class definition this error went away (a 
simple implementation of java.util.Comparator for comparing java beans "Display 
Names") .  However, I know that there are other inner class definitions in 
another project that do not show any problems.

Always occurred on same source file, which compiles fine running javac from 
command line.  Removal of inner class (by hand- the "Move to top level" 
refactoring fails) succeeds in working around the problem.

Also, once this error occurs, A first attempt to save any file changes to any 
file in the project fails, but a second attempt succeeds (ie. ctrl-s, click ok 
on error dialog, ctrl-s)
