[pde-dev] Help: Access restriction: The type HelperContext is not access

[Tom Ware <tom.ware@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

  Please redirect me if there is a more appropriate mailing list for this help 
request.

  I am having issues with transitive dependencies in the PDE environment 
(Europa Winter).  I have a structure like this.

- PDE Project project.a exports a number of packages
- PDE Project project.b depends on and exports project.a

  If project.c is added that depends on project.b and uses classes in packages 
exported in project.a the following happens:

- If I create project.c in the workspace I created project.a and project.b in, 
everything is fine
- If someone else checks-out project.a and project.b from our SVN repository and 
then tries to create an identical project.c we get access restrictions on 
anything we are getting transitively.  All the error messages are similar to the 
following:

Access restriction: The method getTypeHelper() from the type HelperContext is 
not accessible due to restriction on required library .....................

  The only workaround I can find is to avoid transitive dependencies and depend 
directly on all the PDE projects in my workspace that I need.

  Can anyone suggest something I may be doing wrong, or something better I can 
do to workaround these issues?

Thanks in advance,
Tom
