Not sure what you mean here as Eclipse can be configured to use 
different compilers independently of the version of Java used to run the 
application (Eclipse)

I configured Eclipse to compile against

java-7-openjdk
and, separately
java version 1.6.0_35

and both times came up with the same error

So, it's not actually Eclipse that barfed per-se but two different 
releases of the language ... which is leading me to believe that it's 
not a *bug* but a poorly understood (by me) application of the rules of 
the language by the compiler.

If I could just figure out what the rule was :-(
