Thanks for the report, but unfortunately I cannot reproduce the problem.

To be fully explicit (your "Class<X>" notation is a bit misleading), 
I used this class:

import java.util.List;
public class T {
    private final String bar;
    @SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
    private final List x;
    public String getBar() {
        return this.bar;
    }
    public List getX() {
        return this.x;
    }
    public T() {
    }
}

Compiled it with ecj (command line) 3.6.2 and also in the IDE (3.8M4).
In both cases I see three problems:
----------
1. WARNING in T.java (at line 9)
        public List getX() {
               ^^^^
List is a raw type. References to generic type List<E> should be parameterized
----------
2. ERROR in T.java (at line 12)
        public T() {
               ^^^
The blank final field bar may not have been initialized
----------
3. ERROR in T.java (at line 12)
        public T() {
               ^^^
The blank final field x may not have been initialized
----------
3 problems (2 errors, 1 warning)


What am I doing differently?

Is it just the editor, do you see the error in the "Problems View"?

Do you really mean "warning" (vs. "error")?

Thanks for a quick response. And I'm sorry for my previous vague example. Using your code I propose a litte change:

public class T {
  public static void main(final String[] args) {
    //
  }

  private final String bar;

  public T() {
    //
  }

  public String getBar() {
    return this.bar;
  }
}

This exact code, when I try to run it (hence the addition of main function), cause two events - one is the underlining of the line with constructor T signature and the other is in deed an entry in "problems view"; both with error of: "The blank final field bar may not have been initialized".
Now i'm not sure if it should be an error or a warning - in general or by default, because I did change some of the warnings to errors in Java -> Compiler -> Errors/Warnings (for the sake of stricter code). It is an error with my settings anyway.
Now, for the following code:

import java.util.List;

public class T {
  public static void main(final String[] args) {
    //
  }

  private final String bar;

  @SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
  private final Class<List> l;

  public T() {
    //
  }

  public String getBar() {
    return this.bar;
  }
}

I have no notification of any error - neither as a underlining of a line in edit with a side marker, nor by any entry in "problems view".
And it's the same with a getter for l (but I add a suppress warnings on the getter, too) and / or with initialization of this.l = List.class; in body of constructor T().
There are compiler errors, though, when the exact code is compiled in command line.
ecj gives me:
$ ecj -v
Eclipse Compiler for Java (TM) 0.981_R35x, 3.5.2 release, Copyright IBM Corp 2000, 2009. All rights reserved.
$ ecj -6 T.java 
----------
1. WARNING in T.java (at line 10)
        @SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
                          ^^^^^^^^^^

2. WARNING in T.java (at line 11)
        private final Class<List> l;
                            ^^^^

----------
3. WARNING in T.java (at line 11)
        private final Class<List> l;
                                  ^

----------
4. ERROR in T.java (at line 13)
        public T() {
               ^^^

----------
5. ERROR in T.java (at line 13)
        public T() {
               ^^^
The blank final field l may not have been initialized
----------
5 problems (2 errors, 3 warnings)

Whereas javac:
$ javac -version
javac 1.6.0_22
$ javac T.java 
T.java:15: variable bar might not have been initialized
  }
  ^
1 error

And when this code is run as java application it does not show errors in editor / "problems view", but in console gives output on STDERR (red output):
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem: 

	at T.main(T.java:4)

There's a side problem of compatibility of SuppressWarnings value markers - my version of eclipse suggests "rawTypes" for a raw type, but as it seems it is not recognised by my standalone ecj.
If there's anything else I could clarify, please let me know.

See also bug 365455 and bug 346175

Comment 4 Srikanth Sankaran 2012-01-05 21:39:39 EST

Satyam, please take a look. Is this issue still open
after the most recent patch by you and Olivier ?

Comment 5 Satyam Kandula 2012-01-05 23:07:59 EST

Yes this is same as bug 346175 and bug 365455. This works fine with the patch there. 
FYI to reproduce this, you need to do the following compiler problem settings. 
- Set 'Raw Warnings' to error
- Enable 'SuppressWarnings' annotations
- Enable 'Suppress optional errors with @SuppressWarnings'
- Enable Treat above errors like fatal .....
