[news.eclipse.tools] Exception during compile

[raye@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Ray Elenteny)]

I have run across a problem when compiling a class that has an error in it
that causes an exception in the log.  The exception is atteched.  After
working some time to figure it out, I determined what was causind the
problem.  I had written a method incorrectly as follows:

public void testStart
{
}

I accidentally did not include a parameter list.  This causes the
exception.  There is no error stated in the task list or anywhere else I
could find.

I thought I'd just post this as something that might need to be looked
into.
