I'm using eclipse-SDK-3.1M4-win32.zip.

Inner enums in geneneric classes are not support in the switch statement:
The sample below causes two duplicate case errors:

public class A<T> {
	public enum X { a,b }
	void foo() {
		for (X x : X.values()) {
			switch(x) {
			 case a:
			 case b:
			 	System.out.println(x.name());
			}
		}
	}
}

If "<T>" is removed, the sample starts to compile.

Workaround is to use if statements instead of switch. However it looks more ugly.
