"Access Restriction" - Is this a PDE bug? [message #605421]

I'm receiving an "Access Restriction" error from Eclipse that I think may be a bug. Basically, it appears that...

If plugin X and plugin Y both import package P, and plugin X requires plugin Y, then plugin X cannot resolve package P and eclipse gives the "Access Restriction" error/warning

However, at runtime, plugin X *can* resolve package P just fine. So OSGI is perfectly happy with these dependencies.

And... if I remove plugin Y's importing of package P, Eclipse no longer reports the "Access Restriction" error.

I don't want to change the error to a warning and suppress the warning because that's too coarse grained IMHO.

Does this sound like a bug or am I missing a concept?

Thanks!

this works without a problem for me. Could you produce an example that shows the issue in
isolation?

Greetings,

Ralf

What package is it? Anything from javax.* land?

Thanks for your replies. I've figured out what my issue was... and it turned out to be a java build path setting causing the problem.

So, to restate the scenario: If plugin X and plugin Y both import package P from plugin Z, and plugin X requires plugin Y, then plugin X cannot resolve package P and eclipse gives the "Access Restriction" error/warning.

The issue arises when plugin Y has a build path configured to export plugin-in dependencies.

So to fix this problem, I simply unchecked the "Plug-in Dependencies" checkbox in the "Order and Export" tab of the the Java Build Path for my plugin Y.

Thanks.
