Give an example, would you? I can recall NetBeans doing it, but haven't caught Eclipse.

Eclipse might warn you, or might show a warning as an error if you've configured it to do so ... but this is all up to you configuring Eclipse to be overly cautious.

Replace "Eclipse" by "javac" and the answer is a bit more robust.

Sooner or later the folks out there will start asking on SO where their car keys are on.
And this is everything but fun. I mean, come on, writing the above code in Notepad, saving it as a .java file* and running javac over it should have taken less than posting over here.
* Enclose the name of the file between " as in "OurFirstEverNotepadJavaUnitTheGreatNativeTest.java", otherwise you'll get a (kernel) panic attack once you'll see it gets saved as .java.txt
