Regarding the change in this particular file, I'd suggest the following:

I have no idea if it will be accepted by the Eclipse IDE, but this seems like a 
cleaner change to me than introducing a raw type.

Christoph,

On the general issue of compilation differences between javac and the Eclipse 
IDE, have you raised a bug with them?
