Description Olivier Thomann CLA 2008-10-01 11:28:28 EDT
Using eclipse.buildId=I20080930-0921
java.fullversion=J2RE 1.6.0 IBM J9 2.4 Windows XP x86-32 jvmwi3260-20080415_18762 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled)
J9VM - 20080415_018762_lHdSMr
JIT  - r9_20080415_1520
GC   - 20080415_AA
BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86, WS=win32, NL=fr_CA
Command-line arguments:  -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86 -debug -consolelog -console,

I got this error when I tried to use the quickfix for creating a missing method.
I had: Util.getOrdinalValue(((SingleNameReference) constantExpression).binding) in my code where the getOrdinalValue(..) is not yet defined. So I got a compile error.
I chose the quickfix to create the method.
The method has been created, but I got an error dialog during this operation. Checking the .log file I could see this stack trace.
