java file reported with syntax error

see attached file;

essentially the following is an syntax error:

public static void main(String[] args) {
        File f = new File(".");
        if (f.isDirectory()) 
            File[] lf = f.listFiles();
    }


where 
public static void main(String[] args) {
        File f = new File(".");
        if (f.isDirectory()) {
            File[] lf = f.listFiles();
        }
    }

is legal

editor complains; and compilation fails

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the problem in the current dev build (the attached java file can be opened without any syntax errors reported). What particular syntax error is reported on your side?

Comment 4 Dusan Balek 2011-04-27 07:43:29 UTC 
The red error badge is reported correctly on the following code snippet

public static void main(String[] args) {
    File f = new File(".");
    if (f.isDirectory()) 
        File[] lf = f.listFiles();
}

because THERE IS a syntax error - see the Java Language Specification - 14.9 The if Statement - variable declaration cannot be used inside if-statement. Closing as invalid.
