Given the following code:

public enum TestEnum
{
  FIRST,
  SECOND,
  THIRD;

  static {
    System.out.println("static");
    try {
      System.out.println("values=" + values());
      for (TestEnum t : values()) {
        System.out.println(" enum: " + t);
      }
    } catch(Exception e) {
      System.out.println(e);
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }

  TestEnum() {
    System.out.println("TestEnum ctor");
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
  }
}


I can compile it and run it on a Linux workstation, and it produces the
following output: 

TestEnum ctor
TestEnum ctor
TestEnum ctor
static
values=[LTestEnum;@15ff48b
 enum: FIRST
 enum: SECOND
 enum: THIRD


That's good.

However, when I run this on Eclipse 3.1M3 on WinXP, I get a NullPointerException
 within values() on the line for (TestEnum t : values())
