It could be that this issue has to do with a bug in the Eclipse Java compiler (ECJ).  (Eclipse has its own Java compiler.  It doesn't use the standard JDK compiler.)

Can you try and find out which version of the Eclipse compiler you have?  Instructions on how to do that: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18497913/how-can-i-find-the-ecj-version-in-eclipse

You can also try upgrading your version of Eclipse to see if it fixes the issue.
