I am compiling my java code on newer eclipse 2020-06 and using Java 8. There were few deprecated interfaces which i had removed and now I am getting below error :

The type org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.IWorkbench cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files

tried adding few jar files but that did not helped. Below are jar files :

1. org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench-1.4.0.jar
2. org.eclipse.ui.workbench_3.117.0.v20191126-1131.jar
3. org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.swt_0.14.800.v20190930-1643.jar

Can anyone suggest what can be done in this case and what is meaning is "It is indirectly referenced from required .class files" .

I assume you are building a plugin and that you need to edit the MANIFEST.MF to add dependencies., but it sounds like maybe you are adding jars directly to the classpath...

The org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench bundle contains org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.IWorkbench , but your jar name looks weird (and very old), so I have to wonder why you even care about and know the jar name...
