I was using Eclipse 3.1 for BlackBerry development. After upgrading from Eclipse 3.1 to Eclipse 3.2, I now get the error "The project was not built since its build path is incomplete. Cannot find the class file for net.rim.tid.awt.Event. The type net.rim.tid.awt.Event is indirectly referenced from required .class files." The net_rim_api.jar does not include this class presumably because it's a proprietary class that RIM does not expose. The error occurs when referencing the class net.rim.device.api.ui.Field, which is exposed in the API. Eclipse 3.1 compiled this without error. My compiler compliance level is set to 5.0.
As a work-around I created the following skeleton classes in a source folder (that I exclude from the RAPC compiler which runs from an ANT task when compiling the code for BlackBerry testing or deployment). I implemented these work-around skeleton classes to extend Object and do nothing more; I have no way to know what their actual interfaces look like. Of course the actual classes exist on the BlackBerry device and simulator, but this seemed enough to get Eclipse to move beyond the error. The specific classes that you might need could depend on what downstream classes any given BlackBerry project is using. net.rim.device.api.ui.DrawTextParam net.rim.device.api.ui.TextMetrics net.rim.device.internal.ui.Border net.rim.tid.awt.Event net.rim.tid.awt.event.InputMethodEvent net.rim.tid.awt.im.InputContext
Would it be possible to get a test case that compiled with Eclipse 3.1 and that doesn't compile anymore with 3.2? Thanks.
I created a test case here: http://www.tandtsoftware.com/main/downloads/test_case.jar This is a self contained project. With the workaround director excluded from the build path, the project will not build: "Cannot find the class file for net.rim.tid.awt.Event". Eclipse 3.1 would build it with compiler compliance at 5.0. If you set compliance level to 1.4 this particulr project will build, but that is misleading because in larger projects the same error will just shift to another class.
Please try your case again with a 3.2.2 build or 3.3M6. Support for missing .class files was changed since 3.2 BTW The testcase doesn't include any actual source - just stubs for the classes mentioned in comment #1.
A few tries with 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 could not reveal the problem (wrote a simplistic class that referenced net.rim.device.api.ui.Field and net.rim.device.api.ui.component.BitmapField; played a bit with adding and removing workaround from the build path). Could you please share more information with us?
Adding needinfo keyword. Please consider providing us with more information and removing the keyword.
Suggest we close this bug, since no info got provided in a long time. I assume this is not a problem any longer ?
All attempts at reproducing the problem failed. Closing as WORKFORME
Verified for 3.5M2.
