Bug occurs in Eclipse 2.1.2, when use ? operator with two true constant values
in boolean expression. Java mistakenly evaluate first operand expression
('s.length() == 0') and raise exception. There is no this bug in Eclipse 2.1.1
and 2.1.

To reproduce bug run this code:
--------------------------------
public class TestEclipse {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    String s = null;
    System.out.println(
      s != null && 
      (s.length() == 0 ? TestConst.c1 : TestConst.c2)
    );
//    System.out.println(s != null && (s.length() == 0 ? true : true));

  }
  
  public static class TestConst {
    public static final boolean c1 = true;
    public static final boolean c2 = true;
  }
}
--------------------------------
Console:

java.lang.NullPointerException
	at TestEclipse.main(TestEclipse.java:6)
Exception in thread "main"
