Java 2 SDK 1.4.0beta-b29 fails to compile the folowing
trivial sample:

    import a;
    class a {}

Following is the compilation log:

    >>>> jdk1.4.0beta-b29/bin/javac a.java
    a.java:1: a is already defined in this compilation unit
    import a;
    ^
    1 error

However, I could not find if JLS prohibits to import a class
defined in the same compilation unit.

Please note, that earlier Javac versions in JDK 1.1.x, 1.2.x,
and 1.3 does compile this sample successfully.
