I am sooooooooooo new to this and it's frustrating to see something that should be simple, but is not simple.  Why on earth (or is it just too deeply hidden?) can't a newly created class be instantly used as a super to another newly created class?  I think I compiled the new class (I shouldn't need to necessarily do this, but thought maybe that was a requirement, but still no luck).  Sorry, just seems like this should be obvious and it may well be, to a season veteran, but not to a new person.

Sorry, we'll need a bit more detail to understand what you're describing.  You've posted this to the JDT/APT (annotation processing tooling) subcomponent; are you talking about classes generated by annotation processors?  If so, can you attach a sample annotation processor that demonstrates the problem?

Or are you just talking about using the Eclipse IDE to write and compile Java classes?  If so, you may want to start by posting to discussion forums, rather than filing a bug.

As it stands, I'm not at all clear whether you're reporting a bug or asking for help, nor what you're asking for help on.
