SWT and JFace unresolved after project import [message #530383]

Hi,

I set up a new IDE and target platform on Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo). Then I used the import wizard to import some plug-in projects written in Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede).

Now I face the problem that all imports from org.eclipse.swt and org.eclipse.jface can't be resolved. Example error message:

- The type org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files

- The type org.eclipse.jface.util.IPropertyChangeListener cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files

Am I missing any important plug-ins in my target platform (on my opinion everything needed should be there)? What could be wrong here? Things used to work fine in Ganymede...

Thanks for your help!

What do the plugins in question say in their MANIFEST.MF about
Require-Bundle for org.eclipse.swt and org.eclipse.jface?

If you do a clean all and force a re-build, does that fix it (do you
still have build automatically checked?)

Dear Paul,

Thank you for the hints. Unfortunately clean and manually build did not help. However, in the manifest files there's now trace of the SWT and JFace plug-ins under the Require-Bundle item. So I just started to add the following plug-ins as dependencies to my projects until all errors had disappeard:

org.eclipse.ui_3.5.0
org.eclipse.ui.forms_3.4.1
org.eclipse.swt_3.5.0
org.eclipse.jface_3.5.0
org.eclipse.core.commands_3.5.0

For me it's surprising since in my Ganymede installation (which I haven't set up by myself) the above plug-ins are not added as dependencies in the same projects. Could it be that there was a noticeable change from 3.4 to 3.5? Or was my former target platform / build paths somehow different?

Regards, Mathias

As a general rule you should have org.eclipse.ui (it re-exports jface
and swt, and core.commands) in your require bundle if you are
contributing to the UI. It wouldn't work at all without that. Then you
would add org.eclipse.ui.forms to make use of FormToolkit.

Maybe the dependencies had been added to the project classpath. I know
in the later releases PDE really tightened the rules around what it
would compile.

I would try to go to my run-configuration...
1. deselect all plugins,
2. select the plugin which i would like to run
3. add all required plugins.

Maybe this will help.

Another option could be to check your dependencies, in your plugin.xml.
