I am using eclipse 3.1M5a with java 1.5 (detailed versions below)

Steps to reproduce:

1) Create the following two files (they must be seperate files if they are in
the same file this error does not occur)

In GenericsTest.java

class MyException extends Exception {
}

public class GenericsTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws MyException {
        Thrower<MyException> thrower = new Thrower<MyException>() {
            public void throwIt() throws MyException {
                throw new MyException();
            }
        };
        thrower.throwIt();
    }
}


In Thrower.java

public interface Thrower<E extends Exception> {
    public void throwIt() throws E;
}


2) When a clean build is done they compile fine. 
3) As soon as you edit GenericsTest.java the following compiler error appears:

Unhandled exception of type Exception on line 15 of GenericsTest.java



These two files compile correctly with javac 1.5
