Description Martin Aeschlimann

JavaDoc from IJavaProject.getPackageFragmentRoots states:
 * Returns all of the  package fragment roots contained in this
 * project, identified on this project's resolved classpath. The result
 * does not include package fragment roots in other projects referenced
 * on this project's classpath.

Currently, JAR optained from required projects are returned as well.
They should only be returned in getAllPackageFragmentRoots

Need to revise current implementation

Agreed, note that internal JARs of other projects where also answered amongst 
the package fragment roots. 

I am planning on only answering roots located inside the same project + 
external ones (which are referenced directly one the immediate classpath).

Would this be fine ?

I think it should still return internal jars located in other projects.

The roots returned are the ones shown in the package view: Problem with not 
showing internal jars located in other projects is that you would not see them 
in the package view at all, if they are not also on the containing project's 
classpath.

What the JavaDoc says is ideal for the package view: all package fragment 
roots, except those optained from other projects (through a project-classpath 
entry).

As an addition: Could , as an additional specification, the roots be returned 
in the order how they appear in the classpath?

Agreed, we will do so, the point on internal JARs is real.

Fixed. Handles to exported roots are made in context of originating projects.
