Description Marcelo Paternostro CLA 2008-05-06 14:00:54 EDT 
When a project doesn't have a JDT nature, PDE cannot compute the project's classpath and, hence, cannot check if a class used in the plugin.xml is available to the bundle or not.

I believe PDE should only flag classpath problems if it is able to check the classpath. The way it is now, thw warning is not doing me any good and I would need to add the JDT nature just to make it go away.

I guess that's fair, but how you actually created a Plug-in project w/ src and w/o the JDT nature, that surprises me.

The magic of manipulating the .project file directly :-P

Playing with the .project file manually will get you into trouble.

Also, I'm pretty good with the change, however, note that as soon as a project actually has java source code, it should be a java project.
