Find an IType in the whole (non workspace) classpath [message #913361]

Hi JDT,

While trying to fix https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=389022 I have stumbled on a need to do this:

I have an IProject p; it is a plugin project so it has some dependencies but none of them is in the workspace (all in the target platform). I need to search for an IType t for which I have the FQN.
The JavaCore.create(p).findType(fqn) returns null if the type isn't around in the workspace.

The fact is that I may want to find a reference to t in the case that this t is in a project dependency in the target platform. So rephrasing: having a FQN and insurance that it is on the classpath but in the Target Platform (not in workspace), how can I get a reference to t ?

Thanks.

If t is on the project's classpath I'm surprised it cannot be found by IJavaProject.findType(fqn).
What is the classpath entry that should provide the class?

Hi Stephan,

You are right. I had messed with the classpath more than I should have. It is indeed found by the findType method.

Thanks,
Sopot
