This is happening only, when you are in debug mode, because then the
following happens, when you save:
- Eclipse compiles the code instantly
- the new bytecode is tried to be reloaded immediately and tried to be
executed from the current point

Since Hot Code Replace in general is an undecidable problem, it cannot
always work. Thus, sometimes it fails and Eclipse presents this error. Then
just stop and re-debug your code and everything is fine.
