[Bug java/18147] New: Objects in instance initializer blocks are scoped too widely

If you declare an object within an instance initializer, you cannot declare
another object of the same name in a different instance initializer.
This description seems pretty opaque, so an example of correct code that GCJ
rejects is probably better:
-- init.java --
import java.util.HashMap;
class init
{
private final HashMap _map1 = new HashMap();
{
Object foo = new Object();
_map1.put ("foo!", foo);
}
private final HashMap _map2 = new HashMap();
{
Object foo = new Object();
_map2.put ("bar!", foo);
}
}
-- init.java --
GCJ exits with this error:
init.java:13: error: Variable `foo' is already defined in this method and was
declared `Object foo' at line 7.
Object foo = new Object();
^
