The following code


interface I<T> {
    void m1(T t);
    void m2(T t);
}

class A {};

class B implements I<A> {
    public void m1(A a) {}
    public void m2(A a) {}
}

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        m(new B());
    }

    public static void m(I<A> x) {
        x.m1(null);
    }
}


throws this exception:


Exception in thread "main" java.lang.AbstractMethodError: B.m1
(Ljava/lang/Object;)V
	at Main.m(Main.java:19)
	at Main.main(Main.java:15)


when compiled and run with Eclipse 3.1M3. The exception does not occur when 
the code is compiled with the Sun JDK 1.5 Compiler. It does also not occur, 
when x.m1(null); is replaced with x.m2(null); or if m2 is removed.
