Description Frederic Fusier CLA 2003-09-25 05:04:51 EDT 
Let's say we have following test case:
File X.java:
class X {
  void foo () {
    Y y;
  }
}
File p/Y.java:
package p;
class Y {
}

When I compile this I got following error:
----------
1. ERROR in d:\usr\oti\workspaces\dvpt-ffr\Crap\src\X.java (at line 5)
	Y y;
	^
Y cannot be resolved or is not a type
----------
1 problem (1 error)

I think compiler should complain that Y is not visible instead of saying it 
cannot be resolved...

Proposed fix

The fix here is applied in Scope.getTypeOrPackage(char[],int): store the
problem reference binding when it's detected in loop and return it if no type
was finally found at the end of the method...
Comment 2 Kent Johnson CLA 2003-09-25 10:58:18 EDT 
Is this the complete testcase?

The class X is in the default package & doesn't import p.* or p.Y?

Then how is it ever supposed to find it?
Comment 3 Jerome Lanneluc CLA 2003-09-25 11:38:11 EDT 
import p.*;
public class X {
  void foo () {
    Y y;
  }
}
Comment 4 Jerome Lanneluc CLA 2003-09-25 11:40:59 EDT 
import p.Y;
public class X {
  void foo () {
    Y y;
  }
}
