ICompilationUnit & CompilationUnit [message #460668]

Hi Guys,

I want to know if the same class which is in two diffrent
packages/projects in the same workspace will have the same
ICompilationUnit & CompilationUnit or they will be different.

I am developing application which will open the source of the class in an
editor but i want to know which one will be opened.

Thank you very much.

CompilationUnit is an internal type and you should not be relying on that
being the implementation of an ICompilationUnit.

If two classes are in different packages, they are not the same class. So
they clearly can't have the same ICompilationUnit.

ICompilationUnit extends ITypeRoot, which extends IJavaElement. If two
classes are in different projects, even if their contents are identical,
they must respond differently to IJavaElement.getPath() and other similar
methods. So again, they clearly can't have the same ICompilationUnit.
