Description OTI Support CLA 2001-12-20 12:02:57 EST 
The following class doesn't cause a compiler error:

public class TestCompiler {
 static String foo() {return "";}

 public TestCompiler() {
  super();
 }
 public static void main(String[] args) {
   int jim =0;
   jim += foo();
 }

}


I think it should, since it assigns the sum of 0 and "" to an int.

In build 20011218, the compiler reports an error:

The operator += is undefined for the argument type(s) int, java.lang.String
