Description Deepak Azad

BETA_JAVA7

The compiler does not show any error in the following snippet.
---------------------------------
try {
	System.out.println();
} catch (Exception e []) { 
	e.printStackTrace();
} 
---------------------------------

but shows an error for the following
---------------------------------
try {
	System.out.println();
} catch (Exception [] e) { 
	e.printStackTrace();
} 
---------------------------------

Both snippets result in an error with HEAD
