Description David Gates CLA 2005-05-19 12:19:17 EDT 
//Example:
class Foo<T> {}
class Bar extends Foo<Bar.Baz> {}

Above code causes an internal compiler NullPointerException.  Trying to copy 
code from editor or focus on error tooltip triggers an error popup that says:

The command for the key you pressed failed

Reason:
java.lang.NullPointerException
Comment 1 David Gates CLA 2005-05-19 12:20:21 EDT 
J2SE 5 compliance was on, otherwise used default settings.
Comment 2 David Gates CLA 2005-05-19 12:54:01 EDT 
Only causes internal compiler error in clean environment, but creates endless 
'An internal error occurred during: "Requesting Java AST from selection"' error 
popups in my production environment.

This is a serious problem, since this happens whenever the compiler doesn't 
think the inner class exists, such as when there are unmatched brackets or an 
unfinished method declaration.

Sorry, but I have no idea which setting might be causing the difference.
