Classes marked as protected can be used for completion by non-descendent classes
outside of the project in which they are defined.  Classes marked as public
cannot be used for completion outside the project.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1.) Set up a self-hosted environment, as follows:
        (a) Check out platform-ui and org.eclipse.ui.tests
        (b) Import all remaining pieces as binary projects
2.) Right-click on org.eclipse.ui.tests and add "org.eclipse.ui.workbench" to 
    the build path (under "Java Build Path > Projects").
3.) Add a new TestCase (subclass of UITestCase) to a new package.  In this 
    particular case, the test case was called "Bug43800Test", and the package 
    was called "org.eclipse.ui.tests.keys".  Remeber to have the constructor 
    added automatically.
4.) Add a new method, "testTruncatingCast()".
5.) Type "KeySuppor" and press "Ctrl+Space" to perform code completion.
6.) Open "KeySupport" (located in "org.eclipse.ui.workbench").
7.) Change the class from "public" to "protected".
8.) Go back to the test case, and press "Ctrl+Space" again.
9.) Go back to KeySupport, and change from "protected" to "public".


OBSERVED RESULTS:
At step #5, code completion fails.  At step #8, code completion succeeds, but
compilation errors appear.  At step #9, code completion succeeds, and
compilation errors are gone.


DESIRED RESULTS:
The results from step #9 should occur at step #5.


ENVIRONMENT:
Eclipse-GTK-I20030930, GNOME/Metacity, RedHat9
