Like Bug #4166933 JDK 1.2 wrongly reports

This bug was reported as #4166933 f=FCr JDK 1.1.x. I found that
something similar exists in JDK 1.2:

Compiling the following code wrongly reports that
"Blank final variable 's' may not have been initialized".

This happens with both JDK 1.1.7 and JDK 1.2

---- cut here ----
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.table.AbstractTableModel;

public class Bug2 {
  private final String
    s;

  public Bug2() {
    s =3D "";
  }

  private class SubListe extends JTable {
    SubListe( ) {
      setModel( new AbstractTableModel() {
        public int getColumnCount() { return 0; }
        public int getRowCount() { return 0; }

=09// replacing "Integer.class" by "null" or removing
=09// the method fixes the problem!
        public Class getColumnClass( int iCol ) {
          return Integer.class;
        }

        public Object getValueAt( int iRow, int iCol ) {
          return null;
        };
      } );
    }
  }
}

---- and here ----

The strange thing is, that replacing "Integer.class" by "null"
in the inner class or completely removing "getColumnClass"
fixes the problem.

I have another example that fails to compile with JDK 1.1.7, but
compiles correctly with JDK 1.2:

---- cut here ----
public class Bug {
  final String s;

  public static interface IF {
  }

  public Bug() {
    s =3D "";
  }
}=20
---- and here ----

so, it seems to become more complicated ;-)
