Description Evan O'Dorney

2007-07-23 21:52:51 EDT

I am running Eclipse Europa on Gentoo Linux and have installed only PMD and the Europa Discovery Site onto my Eclipse system. When I type

    class A {
      int[] a; // analogous problems with float[], Object[] or int[][]
      a.

a proposal window pops up. The problem line is:

   clone() int[] - int

You can't clone an int. clone() should be a method of class int[]

public class Test {
  {
    int[] a = new int[]{1};
    int[] b = a.clone();
    a.clone()[0] = 0;
  }
}

This example is valid so the proposal of 'clone() int[] - int' is valid.

I close this bug as INVALID.
