Well, it's an issue at development time only. Basically, Eclipse PDE is
not able to create a build path that is an exact copy of the classloader
hierarchy available at runtime. And because of this, the JDT compiler is
complaining that it can't resolve some classes required by classes your
plug-in is using.
