IPackageFragment's getCompilationUnit is buggy [message #258017]

Suppose I have multiple source folder such that they contain the packages
with the same name..
Project
Src1
com.mytest
Src2
com.mytest
-Foo.java

Suppose I have a handle to IPackageFragment instance that represents
com.mytest in src1. If I do getCompilationUnit("Foo.java") it will return
the right result. This doesnt look like expected behavior. Please confirm?

You're wrong, it is the expected behavior. The Javadoc says:

* This is a handle-only method. The compilation unit may or may
not be present.

hmm so what does it mean when it says "handle only method. May or may not
be present" I thought that this method is to use to fetch the compilation
unit instance given a package?

I think you guys are arguing about what the "correct result" is without ever
saying what you mean.

Raheel, can you post a code snippet that gives a different result than you
expect?
