When writing the following piece of code in Eclipse's Java editor, a very strange compile time error is presented. > Test.java >>> class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(new Integer(42).getClass()); } } < Test.java <<< Unlike the editor, Eclipse's Package Explorer and the Problems View do not show any compile time error and the class can be executed without problems. Eclipse's Java editor presents the following compile time error: >>>> The type java.lang.Class cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files <<<<
Could not reproduce with latest. Are you sure your JRE container is properly initialized ? What are your compiler settings?
Strange, today I also cannot reproduce the strange behaviour. Neither a fresh Eclipse installation nor my usual installation (that shows the [reproducable] behaviour yesterday) produce any compile time error when creating the test case. The only evidence for the problems is the Eclipse log file, taht contains the following entry for yesterday (but I'm not quite sure if it is exactly the time, the strange behaviour occurs). > .log >>> !SESSION 2006-05-18 14:49:48.272 ----------------------------------------------- eclipse.buildId=I20060512-1600 java.version=1.5.0_06 java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.

The NullPointerException looks like bug 96984. I just reopened it. However it is unrelated to the original problem. So we still need steps to reproduce the original problem.
Please reopen if you have steps to reproduce.
