Well, accidentally posted the message before it was complete and I can't
figure out how to edit it, so here's the proper version.

Hello,

I'm trying to use the Eclipse JDT to perform some dependency analysis on
programs where all the dependencies cannot be resolved.

I've been using ASTParser's createAST with setStatementsRecovery,
setResolveBindings and setBindingsRecovery all set to true. This work
great most of the time, except that I've found one case in which the
ASTParser just gives up and does not resolve any of the bindings even
partially.

This occurs when there is a jar file referenced by the file that has a
missing dependency, and you get the error "Pb(324) The type XXXX cannot be
resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files."

I was wondering if there was any way to force the ASTParser to resolve as
many of the bindings as it can even in the face of this error. I tried
setting the compiler options CORE_JAVA_BUILD_INVALID_CLASSPATH and
CORE_INCOMPLETE_CLASSPATH, but that had no effect.

Thanks!

Did you set up a java project ?
Even if you setResolveBindings to true, you need to provide a context
for the binding resolution.

Yup, the project is properly set up as a Java one. Everything works great
with binding resolution, except in the case that a jar on the classpath is
itself missing a dependency. Then the binding resolution just terminates,
rather than doing a best-effort attempt.

I'm looking to see if there is a way to change this behavior, so that an
attempt is made even under the existence of this error.

Please open a bug report against JDT/core with complete steps to
reproduce. Provide build id, examples, expected results and current results.

Thanks,
