There is an issue with the latest update (2020-12) in eclipse as shown below in the code snippet:

public class TernaryFail {
	final static boolean debug = false;
	final static String s1 = "Test string one";
	final static String s2 = "Test string two";
	
	static public void testMethod() {
		
		//  This works with no compile error
		String test = "";
		if (debug)
			test = s1;
		else
			test = s2;
		System.out.println(test);
		
		// This works with no compile error
		test = (debug ? s1 : s2);
		System.out.println(test);
		
		// This fails compile with "debug cannot be resolved to a variable" but used to work in eclipse 2020-09 and prior
		test = new String(debug ? s1 : s2);
		System.out.println(test);
	}
}

I starting seeing this issue today after updating eclipse to 2020-12 on both the Mac (Big Sur) and Windows 10.
