Description Frederic Fusier CLA 2006-09-08 12:50:30 EDT 
JDT/Summit topic:

Missing types can greatly deteriorate compiler output by producing too many secondary errors, surface suboptimal DOM bindings, or even abort entire compilation process when missing types are referenced from required classfiles. We should investigate ways to improve this situation, remembering that the APT Mirror API requires that bindings are still presented even in the presence of missing types.
Comment 1 Philipe Mulet CLA 2006-09-13 06:21:10 EDT 
First step is to consider improving the situation of missing types referenced (indirectly) from classfiles. These are causing abort compilation, and in certain situation will cause the global build process to fail altogether (see bug 114349).

Some progress was already made for local variables, see bug 144858

To be investigated during M7
Comment 7 John Arthorne CLA 2007-03-28 13:43:19 EDT 
I just noticed this when doing a query of open plan item bugs... should this be added to the 3.3 plan? (http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/eclipse_project_plan_3_3.html)

Removing "plan" keyword for now
