Dear Team,
We have been using Eclipse and we love it! Great job!
I am experiencing a very strange problem when compiling the same source 
file within eclipse and outside of it.
In both cases I am using Sun's JSDK 1.3.1_09.
Briefly this is what is going on:

class A implements java.io.Serializable {
   private final static SomeInterface var = SomeClass.getInstance("param");
   ...
   ...
}

When compiled through the eclipse ide the resulting
class would have code of the form ( I used pseudo code  in the above example)
class A implements java.io.Serialiazable {
    ...
    static Class class$0; /* synthetic field */

    static {
        class$0;
        if(class$0 != null) goto _L2; else goto _L1
_L1:
        JVM INSTR pop ;
        class$0 = Class.forName
("[Lcom.westernasset.atp.model.DealBaseTO;").getComponentType();
          goto _L2
        JVM INSTR new #148 <Class NoClassDefFoundError>;
        JVM INSTR dup_x1 ;
        JVM INSTR swap ;
        getMessage();
        NoClassDefFoundError();
        throw ;
_L2:
        WAMLogger.getInstance();
        CAT;
        status = STATUS_NEW;
        allocations = new HashMap();
}

}

when compiled outside of eclipse: 
class A implements java.io.Serializable {
   private final static SomeInterface var;
   ...
   ...
   static {
      var = SomeClass.getInstance("param");
   }
}

As you can see this produces two totaly diffrent classes
(the generation of the synthetic field in the first case) and
causes SerialVersionIDS to be different for both classes.

This wasn't the case with any of the previous releases of 1.3.1_09

Any ideas on how to run external javac and pass the same parameters to it?
JDT hides most of this now throught the common interface.
