There are various bugzilla-entries dealing with this. For example, see

  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=238505

or

  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=260330

The "workaround" mentioned in bug 238505 (comment no. 6) works like this:

/* @var $action ivExtjsActions */
$action = $action;
$action->

Which seems to be quite ... well, let's say ... sub-optimal.
