Bug in Eclipse? multiple class definitions in one java file [message #144844]

Hi,

according to what I just read in the Java Nutshell, it is legal to
define several classes in one java file but only one can be public. All
the other classes defined there are accessable within that package only.

As it seems the syntax highlighting engine of JDT doesn't "know" that,
because types defined in a java file which isn't named after that class
appear as "unresolvable" when used in a class defined in another java file.

Is there a preference which changes this behaviour or are there any
reasons why this behaviour was chosen?

Regards,

MG

Ok, I've found

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=32505

So this is basically a performance issue.

Would be nice to have it resolved somehow, although it is bad
programming style to add several class descriptions to one java file.
