Hi there,
I have split a project containing JUnit tests. I wanted to seperate
the ui and related tests. Now I ran into this error message.
java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access method
BeanItem.propertyChanged
(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;)V from class
BeanItem
Normally I ran all tests which doesn't require a ui using the normal JUnit
launcher.
But using the PDE JUnit launcher (launch the test within a seperated Eclipse
workspace) causes an IllegalAccessError.
The fun is, it finds the classes but calling a method fails for sure.
For example the above things work:
new BeanItem(0,0);
new BeanItemImpl extends BeanItem {
}
BeanItemImpl bean=new BeanItemImpl(0,0);
bean.propertyChanged(...);
but if i use
BeanItem bean=new BeanItem(0,0);
bean.propertyChanged(...);
it fails cause of IllegalAccessError...
Does someone has a clue? (plugin dependencies are correct because
the class is found and it can be instanciated.
Thanks
Martin(Kersten)

Looks like I forgot to mention the third way ;)
Seperate source directory into two. This way works excellent on a
creamy base ;).
Here is what I have done:
create a second directory called src-test. So every thing gets seperated
in the package/type view (viewing either the production code or the test
code)
and I have the full access of default and protected methods of classes
within the same package.
Drawback:
The plugin.xml gets additional sections about test views. I think I will
just
add a second section or even better include a plugin-test.xml file as part.
So to get a shippable version you have to remove the bin-test.jar and
a line/section in the plugin.xml.
Well if this isn't foxy, I don't know what else is... .
