Hello,

I'm trying to use the jdt's AST generation feature in a non-eclipse environment(as a plugin for another basic java ide). My program creates the AST correctly when I run it inside eclipse, but when I test the plugin it from the ide I get this exception:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: ignoreMethodBodies
at org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.CompilationUnitResolver.parse(CompilationUnitResolver.java:491)
at org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.ASTParser.internalCreateAST(ASTParser.java:1200)
at org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.ASTParser.createAST(ASTParser.java :807)
at mytreetest.TreeMaker.buildTree(Unknown Source)
...
(further stack trace)
...

The code I've used is quite basic:

ASTParser parser = ASTParser.newParser(AST.JLS4);
String src = readFile(filePath);
parser.setSource(src.toCharArray());
parser.setKind(ASTParser.K_COMPILATION_UNIT);
Map<String, String> options = JavaCore.getOptions();
JavaCore.setComplianceOptions(JavaCore.VERSION_1_7, options);
parser.setCompilerOptions(options);
CompilationUnit cu = (CompilationUnit) parser.createAST(null);


I went through the source code of org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.CompilationUnitResolver and org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.impl.CompilerOptions. CompilerOptions does have a public boolean field called ignoreMethodBodies.

What can be causing this error?

Please help me out.

Here are the eclipse jar files I've included :

org.eclipse.core.contenttype_3.4.100.v20110423-0524.jar
org.eclipse.core.jobs_3.5.100.v20110404.jar

You must have a version of jdt.core bundle on your classpath which is not compatible with the one from your Eclipse environment.

Yes, the java ide was using ecj. I updated its classpath to add the jdt plugins and now it works fine.

Thanks for the quick reply Smile

Hi,

Another follow up query - Is it possible for ecj.jar and the jdt-core plugin to co-exist in the classpath and not generate the above error? Any type of workaround to achieve this?

Why do you need both? The org.eclipse.jdt.core bundle and its fragments contains what the ecj.jar contains. org.eclipse.jdt.core is also an executable jar. I would leave only the latter on the classpath and remove ecj.jar.

HTH,

Olivier
