I'm trying to debug an Eclipse plugin that developed a bug around the 2019-09 timeframe. Something must have changed in the platform that causes it not to work anymore.

I can run the rcp 2018-12 distro and test it, and I verify that it works. I was able to step through the handler code.

If I run the 2019-12 distro, I can't fully compile the project, as it says "The type javax.inject.Inject cannot be resolved.". When I try to open type "javax.inject.Inject" in the 2018-12 distro, it finds it in "eclipse/plugins/javax.inject_1.0.0.v20091030.jar" in the distro. When I inspect that "plugins" directory, I find lots of separate plugin jars.

In the 2019-12 distro, it can't find "javax.inject.Inject", and when I look in that plugins directory, I only find a single jar, the "org.eclipse.equinox.launcher" jar.

I remember this subject of the single launcher jar, but I don't know if this is a direct cause of this compile error, or what I have to do to move forward.

I guess I've resolved this by adding a package import for "javax.inject", but I find it curious that this application didn't have ANY package import statements in any of its manifests up to this point.
