The following code snippet gives some extra error diagnostics when compiled in BETA_JAVA7 branch, as compared to when compiled with HEAD

public class GlobalVariables_1 {
	public static Object o;
	public static int i;
	static {
		try {
			o= new Object();
		} catch (Throwable e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		try {
			i= (1 + 1) *
                       (1 ++ 2);
		} catch (Throwable e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
}

Extra errors are:
Pb(240) Syntax error, insert "}" to complete Block
Pb(240) Syntax error, insert "Finally" to complete TryStatement
Pb(235) Syntax error on token "1", invalid (
Pb(240) Syntax error, insert ";" to complete BlockStatements

This is illustrated by the failing test org.eclipse.jdt.core.tests.eval.NegativeVariableTest.testInitializerProblem() in BETA_JAVA7 branch.
