Eclipse build-ID: I20100915-2024

Let's consider the following class:
-------------------------------------------
package test;

import org.eclipse.swt.events.VerifyEvent;
import org.eclipse.swt.events.VerifyListener;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Text;

public class Test {
  static Text text;

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    "".isEmpty();

    text.addVerifyListener(new VerifyListener() {
      public void verifyText(VerifyEvent e) {
        "".isEmpty();
      }
    });
  }
}
-------------------------------------------

1. create an eclipse plug-in project with J2SE-1.5 as minimal environment and use a 6.0 JRE.
2. enable API tooling
3. add aforementioned class to project
4. the API checker correctly reports the first erroneous reference to String.isEmpty() (which does not exist in J2SE-1.5), but misses the second one inside the anonymous inner class:

The method String.isEmpty() referenced in test.Test.main(String[]) is not defined in the bundle's required execution environment: J2SE-1.5
