Error when adding implements Database.Batchable<sObject>

Getting error 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.' when adding 'implements Database.Batchable<sObject> to a class.
I'm using BrainEngine 5.0.1.81. Eclipse won't save to the server either.


global  class TransactionExclusionFromSSISHiHwBatch implements Database.Batchable<sObject>
{
}

You also need then to implement all the required methods in the link I provided

Follow this link http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/apex_batch_interface.htm
It seems you are opening a square braket and closing with a curly parenthesis.
Does it answer to your question?

I uncommented out my start and execute method and copied my finish method into the class and it saved.  I've written about three classes so far that use the batchable interface and IIRC, I've written the start, execute and finish methods one at the time (saving in between). Maybe something changed in  Summer 14?
Thanks for your help.

Start and execute methods are mandatory as per the batchable interface and also by sense (how can you start a batch without querying records or how can you process them without an execute method?).
I've tried in an org without the summer 14 and cannot save a class without one of the methods in different order...so it may be that the saves occurred only locally (if using an IDE) and actually work only when all methods where written.
