Reproducible locally.

When the incremental builder runs, each problem is reported multiple times (in most cases 5 times, making 4 become 20 problems, but locally it repeated 6 times).  If a full build is run or a clean+build, the correct number of problems are reported.

There are no changes in API Tools to account for the change.

I will try debugging through the builder on Monday with Mike.

Also, it looks like test classes that have only a single expected problem are passing.  Those that have multiple problems (tags on methods, fields, inner classes, etc.) fail with repeated problem markers.
Comment 3 Curtis Windatt CLA 2011-11-29 15:42:38 EST 
In September, a change in JDT core caused problems with the builder reading member types multiple times (the same compilation unit would be returned and analyzed for each member type).  The JDT fix was backported last week, but the corresponding API Tools fix was never marked for backport.
