Build: 3.0 M4 I have org.eclipse.pde.ui and org.eclipse.pde.core checked out from CVS and all other plug-ins were imported as binary without links. I opened the "Open type" dialog to open the Java class 'SchemaObjectPropertySource' from the pde.ui plug-in. When typed in SchemaObjectProperty in the text field of the dialog, there were no matches. Even when I typed the entire name, there was still no match. I will attach an image showing the dialog with 0 matches. If you look at the tree in the package explorer view on the left, you will see that the type I'm looking for and was not found in the dialog is indeed in my workspace.
Created attachment 6475 [details] missing type
Asking JDT/Core for comments. We are using the search engine to determine all available types.
This one can be closed. There was a two-week period when my jdt core metadata was flaky. Once I deleted the metadata and forced re-indexing, everything went back to normal.
Jerome - can you still try to reproduce in latest ?
I see this all the time on the 20031023 build. I didn't do anything to mess up my metadata.
By the way, is there anything you can do from the workbench to make JDT reindex?
Nothing can be done from the workbench. You have to exit the workbench, go to the .metadata, delete the indexes and restart the workbench. Do you have steps to reproduce the problem?
Please reopen if you have steps to reproduce the problem.
But... This bug still exists. It happens to me every day. It definitely doesn't "work". :-/
Just prove it :-) I've never seen it, so I need steps to reproduce.
I had the same problem as Jared for a two week-period. Even Java search was giving me false results all the time. Much like him, no one believed me :-) That is why I attached the screenshot. That should be enough proof. However, deleting my JDT core metadata and forcing it to re-index solved the problem However, how did the metadata get corrupted in the first place? That is the real question. It all seemed to happen to me from a fresh workspace 2 days prior to 3.0M4.
I can attach the appropriate file from my metadata if someone tells me which file is relevant.
Wassim, I cannot recall any change in this area before M4. It must be a bug that has always existed. Something you did made it appear. Jared, the problem is not that I don't believe you :-) I'm sure that the current state of your metadata indicates that some types are missing. Attaching the index would not help us fix the problem. Also have you tried to delete the indexes as I mentioned in comment #7? Then restart your workspace (the indexes will be recomputed on the next search query) and try to note what steps lead to have missing types.
