Description Adam Kiezun

it throws a JavaModelException for ICompilationUnits outside the classpath
the spec says that the exception is thrown when the element does not exist

but it does exist - calling exists() confirms it

it used to work - now a lot of code is broken

We warned you about this change, and we are still debating on the right 
behavior. See the question asked on jdt-core-dev.

Jerome-please investigate asap. I thought we hadn't changed yet.

I don't understand how this could happen. The implementation of 
CompilationUnit.getUnderlyingResource() is to return getResource() which cannot 
throw a JavaModelException. Which version are using?

Fix for bug 25184 now ensures that exists() returns false for a cu outside the 
classpath. In this case getUnderlyingResource() will throw a JavaModelException 
as specified.
