Hello,

in several of my plugin projects I receive the errors message:

Access restriction: The type XX is not accessible due to restriction on
required project XX

XX is located in plugin A in package b and package b is exported

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2
Bundle-Name: Planning Plug-in
Bundle-SymbolicName: A
Bundle-Version: 1.0.0
Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment: JavaSE-1.6
Export-Package: b

I'm not aware of any other way to define a access restriction. The
following tips describes how to turn of the check ;-) but I would like to
solve the root cause.

Any advice what this could be causing?

Best regards, Lars

I've seen the same problem, but was content to simply turn the error down
to a warning :)

I just assumed it was a legacy, pre-OSGi Eclipse thing.

Hi Michael,

I believe that there must be a better solution, as far as I know the
export statement is the only restriction.

Best regards, Lars
