Specify packages ... without explicitly identifying their orginating plug-in? [message #81378]

Ok, so I'm keen to use more "imported packages", zero plugin class path,
and minimum required plugins.

But right off I get stuck: what .java or .class files are being used
when I add to the list of "Imported Packages"? We don't identify their
orginating plugin, so they don't come from a plugin (right?). They
aren't on our bundle class path. ..I'm drawing a blank here ;-)

Plus I have 50 compile errors like

Access restriction: The type HttpServlet is not accessible due to
restriction on required library javax.servlet

all of which disappear when I put javax.serlvet plugin as required plugin.

Just when I thought I understood this stuff,
John.

You can get rid of the errors by changing the level of error reported in those scenarios in the PDE preferences :-)

The access restriction would seem to be that the plugins that are available don't explicitly Export-Package the javax.servlet, or if they do, they're saying Export-Package: javax.servlet;internal=true or some such (which probably wouldn't make sense, so I suspect the former). Of course, you also have to have javax.servlet in the target platform; and if you've made changes to the target platfrom, you have to refresh it (Erm. Somewhere in preferences. Not sure where.)

That's a guess, anyway.

Alex.

I think your problem is that the packages are retrieved from a bundle
that only exposes these packages to a subset of bundles and yours isn't
part in that.

Now you are specifiing where the package is imported from and it is more
than likley that the package is also visible to your bundle.
