Due to ###@###.###:

class Test {
    {
if (true)
String[] s = null;
    }
}

Produces two error messsages:

Test.java:4: '.class' expected
            String[] s = null;
                     ^
Test.java:4: not a statement
            String[] s = null;
                  ^
2 errors

Also, if the [] is removed, two errors are produced:

Test.java:4: not a statement
            String s = null;
            ^
Test.java:4: ';' expected
            String s = null;
                   ^
2 errors

Ideally, only the error messages saying "not a statement" should be given.
