You have to tell Eclipse not to compile your super-source'd Java file. If you're using Maven, it's simply a matter of moving it to src/main/resources; otherwise, exclude your 'jre' package from Eclipse's build path.

...that being said, I'd rather super-source the class the uses the SimpleDateFormat/DateTimeFormat, and/or move that to a helper class that you'd super-source.
