[News.eclipse.dsdp.mtj] preverify error with float[]

[Mark.Tarlton@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Mark Tarlton)]

I'm seeing a problem with unexpected compiler errors when declaring float 
arrays.  

Platform: Java 1.6, Eclipse 3.3.0, Sun WTK 2.5, MTJ 0.7 

The target device is the Sun "DefaultColorPhone" with CLDC1.1 and MIDP2.0 
enabled.

I created the default "Hello_World_MIDP" MIDlet and it compiled and ran 
properly.  

I then added two floating point declarations and recompiled.   The first 
declaration of a simple float variable was accepted, but the declaration 
of a float array generates an error:

"Errors found in preverification.  Build Canceled.
Reason:
org.eclipse.mtj.exception.PreverificationException:  Errors found in 
preverification. Build Canceled"

It also displays a message to the effect that "floating point not allowed 
in method definition for startApp."

The example code is below

package hello_world_midp_package;

import javax.microedition.lcdui.Display;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Form;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.TextField;
import javax.microedition.midlet.MIDlet;
import javax.microedition.midlet.MIDletStateChangeException;

/**
* hello world MIDP 
*/
public class Hello_World_MIDP extends MIDlet {

	protected Form form;
	/**
	 *
	 */
	protected TextField textField;
	
	/**
	 * @see MIDlet#startApp()
	 */
	protected void startApp() throws MIDletStateChangeException {
		Display d = Display.getDisplay(this);
		d.setCurrent(getForm());
		float fVar = 1.0f;    // THIS WORKS *****************
		float[] fVarArray = new float[4];  // THIS DOESN'T **********
		form.append("Hello World!" + fVar);
		
		
	}

	/**
	 * @see MIDlet#pauseApp()
	 */
	protected void pauseApp() {
	}

	/**
	 * @see MIDlet#destroyApp(boolean)
	 */
	protected void destroyApp(boolean flag) throws MIDletStateChangeException 
{
	}

	/**
	 * Method getForm.
	 * @return Form
	 */
	protected Form getForm() {
		if (form == null) {
			form = new Form("Title");
			form.append("Hello World");
			}
		return form;
	}
}
