Following discussions around https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=177476 we were wondering if when multiple execution environments are specified, they should not all be merged to contribute to the compilation classpath. Also this merge would have to make sure that the smallest EE would be appear first on the classpath.
In some cases merging is the right answer, in others intersecting is right. For example, some bundle that optionally uses some JRE classes (NIO for example) needs to compile against 1.4+. On the otherhand, a bundle that spec foudnation 1.0 and J2SE1.3 likely does not want to reference javax.microedition.*. Just pointing this out. in general anything that improves the accuracy and usefulness of the compile-time classpath is a good thing.
Currently we are not actively enhancing PDE build anymore. Therefore, I close this bug as WONTFIX. Please reopen, if you plan to provide a fix.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
