IllegalAccessErrors Running JUnit Tests During Build [message #634067]

I have a plugin (org.a.test) that is used to test another plugin (org.a). Both plugins have the same Java packages defined. The classes being tested in org.a have "protected" and package private methods. When I do a build using Tycho both jars (org.a, org.a.test) build fine.

However, during the build when the JUnit tests are run I get a runtime java.lang.IllegalAccessError whenever a test plugin class calls one of these protected methods. All the tests run successfully within Eclipse using the JUnit runner. I have Eclipse's compiler setting for "forbidden reference access rules" set to be an error.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

you need to use a test fragment instead of a test plugin in order to access
package-private members
This is not a tycho issue but rather how OSGi behaves at runtime

So by your response you're saying when I use the JUnit runner within Eclipse to run the tests (which all pass), that OSGi is not being used then. I thought Eclipse used the OSGi framework. Is that not the case?

Does anyone know the steps to convert a plugin to a fragment?

Thanks!
