Re: [jdt-core-dev] Bug in F2??

Hi!

Building the projects was not the problem I was faced with: It was a 
debugging/running problem. I found the classpath settings to work for my 
particular problem - so it's not a severe problem for me anymore.

But it's an undesirable behaviour to end up with a stack overflow, forcing 
the user to exit eclipse, when running/debugging a 'cyclic project'-program.
