Access restriction: The type 'String' is not API (restriction on required library '/opt/jdk1.7.0_51/ [message #1767149]

Just one RCP 3 project out of 20 in the Neon.3 IDE has errors for all public APIs (Object, @Override, etc, etc, etc.) in the JRE. I restated, I did a project clean. How can this possibly be? I shouldn't have to change the access warnings, these are PUBLIC APIs. How do you get rid of this?

What are the contents of its .classpath file?

Hi,

Firstly, you'd think you would not have to go outside the Eclipse IDE (.classpath is hidden in the IDE) to manage these things.

Here is the content of .classpath

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classpath>
	<classpathentry kind="src" path="src"/>
	<classpathentry kind="src" path="ext"/>
	<classpathentry exported="true" kind="lib" path="lib/relaxngDatatype.jar" sourcepath="lib/src/relaxngDatatype-1.0.zip"/>
	<classpathentry exported="true" kind="lib" path="lib/xsom-20110101-SNAPSHOT.jar" sourcepath="lib/src/xsom-20110101-SNAPSHOT-sources.jar"/>
	<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.pde.core.requiredPlugins"/>
	<classpathentry kind="src" path="test"/>
	<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.junit.JUNIT_CONTAINER/4"/>
	<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER"/>
	<classpathentry kind="output" path="bin"/>
</classpath>

I did a comparison with one of the other .classpath files in one of my other projects. I never manually edit these normally, but I noticed the order was different. So I changed the one above to have the same order shown below. This solved the issue, Eclipse, flaky, it seemed to have changed the order for some reason...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classpath>
	<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER/org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType/JavaSE-1.7"/>
	<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.pde.core.requiredPlugins"/>
	<classpathentry kind="src" path="src"/>
	<classpathentry kind="src" path="ext"/>
	<classpathentry kind="src" path="test"/>
	<classpathentry exported="true" kind="lib" path="lib/relaxngDatatype.jar" sourcepath="lib/src/relaxngDatatype-1.0.zip"/>
	<classpathentry exported="true" kind="lib" path="lib/xsom-20110101-SNAPSHOT.jar" sourcepath="lib/src/xsom-20110101-SNAPSHOT-sources.jar"/>
	<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.junit.JUNIT_CONTAINER/4"/>
	<classpathentry kind="output" path="bin"/>
</classpath>

You don't have to go outside of the IDE: those dot files are filtered using the Project Explorer filters. Remove the dot filter. Alternatively use Open Resources[/em] (Ctrl-Shift-R) and type .classpath[/em] and select the appropriate entry.

Since these are bundles, you can also use Properties > Plug-in Tools > Update Classpath... to regenerate the .classpath files.
