API Tooling: is no longer API [message #805262] Thu, 23 February 2012 09:59 Go to next message

We have a plug-in that uses an external library as Jar and also exports
the packages of this external library. Now API Tooling complains about
classes in that library no longer being API even though absolutely
nothing changed in this plug-in compared to the baseline:

The type Jama.CholeskyDecomposition in org.knime.base_2.5.3 is no longer API
The type Jama.EigenvalueDecomposition in org.knime.base_2.5.3 is no
longer API
The type Jama.examples.MagicSquareExample in org.knime.base_2.5.3 is no
longer API
....

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Also, what exactly does "is no longer API" mean?

Are you sure the manifest in these two jars is identical ?

It's not exactly the same since one has been slightly modified during
the build process, but the relevant (?) entries such as Export-Package
and Bundle-Classpath are the same. What change in the manifest would
cause such an error message?

My first thought was that the package was no longer public in the export-package header of the manifest. If it is marked as x-internal or x-friends it would no longer be considered API as it isn't publicly accessible.

We are not using any x-internal or x-friends attributes (yet).
