The class listed below compiles fine with javac but gives an error in the workspace and with ecj.  The error is 
    "Cannot create a generic array of Inner"

As far as I can tell, there are no compiler settings that would affect this case.

Also included below are the decompiled versions of the .class files created using javac.

package test;

public class Outer<C extends Object> {
	void foo() {
		class Inner {
			public int a; 
			public int b; 
		}
		Inner[] value = new Inner[3];
	}
}
