This code compiles in Java 1.5/ANT, but generates an error in Eclipse Version
3.1.0 build id: 200411050810.

The code is:

  private Result p$Shared3(final int yyStart) throws IOException {
    int        yyC;
    int        yyIndex;
    Character  yyValue;
    ParseError yyError = ParseError.DUMMY;

    // Option 1.

    yyC = character(yyStart);
    if (-1 != yyC) {
      yyIndex = yyStart + 1;
      yyValue = new Character((char)yyC);

      if (('\n' != yyValue) &&
          ('\r' != yyValue)) {

        return new SemanticValue(yyValue, yyIndex, yyError);
      }
    }

    // Done.
    return yyError;
  }

The error is that on both lines:

      if (('\n' != yyValue) &&
          ('\r' != yyValue)) {


The compiler in Eclipse reports "Incompatible types Char and Character"
