How can I fix conditional breakpoint errors? [message #323820]

Hi,

When I set a conditional breakpoint in Eclipse platform code, I get the
following error message quite often:

"Conditional breakpoint has compilation error(s). Reason: The type
org.eclipse.xyz.abc cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from
required .class files"

What can I do to avoid this error? Where do I have to import the class
that is mentioned in the error message?

Regards,
Niklas

Try making sure you have the eclipse plugins that contain the code you
are setting a breakpoint in as plugin dependencies of the project you
are debugging. The "indirectly referenced from required .class files"
is a clue that the plugin dependencies are not right.

I have a breakpoint in org.eclipse.ui.internal.handlers.HandlerAuthority
This class is located in the org.eclipse.ui.workbench plugin. I added
this plugin to the dependencies of one of the plugins I'm working on,
but I still get the same error message.
The error message is: org.eclipse.core.expressions.IEvaluationContext
cannot be resolved. I also have org.eclipse.core.expressions in my
dependencies.

Which dependencies am I still missing here?

You need the plugins that depend on that. They are easy to find. Go to
the manifest for the com.eclipe.ui.workbench plugin manifest.mf and add
the plugins that it depends on.

The plugin you are missing is org.eclipse.core.expressions. But you
should add all of the dependencies, there are not that many.

I added all the dependencies of org.eclipse.ui.workbench to my own
plugin - no success. org.eclipse.core.expressions is a dependency both
of org.eclipse.ui.workbench and my own plugin.

The only other thing I can suggest is restart everything clean and do a
clean build. If that still does not work, I'm not sure what the problem
could be. Sorry.

Also, make sure you are working with your plugin that the code where you
are setting the breakpoint actually resides. That is where it seems to
check.
