The Eclipse IDE marks as errant a situation that isn't, in the opinion of javac from 1.5.  I realize that 1.5 
support in Eclipse is new (I'm running 3.1M2), so I assume nobody else has run into this esoteric 
situation.

Here's the situation:

class Cache<K, V> {
}

class Index<K, V> {
  public Index(Cache<?, V> parentCache) {
  }
}

class MyCache extends Cache<Integer, String> {
  class AnIndex extends Index<String, String> {
    public AnIndex() {
      super(MyCache.this); // <-- Eclipse cannot find the constructor!
    }
  }
}

This is a simplified test case for the problem; we encountered it in one of our production systems.  
javac from Sun's 1.5 distribution does not consider this an error, but Eclipse does.

Thanks!
