[java] Parser Error for empty statements

[mrlzh]

this code will cause the error
import java.util.Map;; import java.util.Map;

[ryan-gustafson]

Can you be more specific? That is not the source code for a valid .java file.

[mrlzh]

import test1;;
import test2;

public class HelloWorld {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

The problem seema to be that compilationunit accepts no empty statements. The same would happen for code such as

package foo;;

Curiosly, TypeDeclaration allows for empty statements, but the generated ast makes no sense

public class Foo {};

Produces a compilationunit with 2 type declarations, one for foo and one for ; completely empty.

We should probably remove this hack altogether and make sure empty statements can be parsed everywhere and produces a proper ast.

Seems like the eclipse compiler doesn't like the empty statements, too - however javac allows this.
