Description Olivier Thomann CLA 2008-10-28 11:22:31 EDT 
When jar that contains a Class-Path: clause in its MANIFEST.MF file is directly on the raw classpath and it has some missing referenced jar, a build path error is reported.
If the same jar is within a classpath container, only a warning is reported.
This is quite confusing for the user.

>This is quite confusing for the user.
Not just that: it prevents the project and all other from being built because it's a build path error.
