Description James Moody CLA 2003-05-26 15:10:07 EDT 
Windows XP, Eclipse 2.1. Default compiler settings.

Object o = ((Object))(new Object());

This code is accepted by the Eclipse compiler but not by javac. Tested with 
IBM JDK 1.3.1. 

It may be that javac is non-compliant, but I thought I'd report it anyway as 
it is a difference.
