The most typical case:
for (int i = 0; ... ) {
  ...
  for (int i = 0; ... ) {
    myArr[i] = ... // which i is it?
  }
}
Its almost always an error, or at the very least a horrible practice.

This is also an Eclipse warning. It might be worth checking with the Java stylists to see whether they think it should be an error.

It might be interesting to check for the loop case specifically. This probably doesn't have as much value as a general check.
