[wtp-dev] Broken SSE builds due to compilation error, but only in Hudson

[Nick Boldt <nboldt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been seeing this for about a week now:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.eclipse.tycho:tycho-compiler-plugin:1.0.0:compile (default-compile) on project org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui: Compilation failure: Compilation failure:
[ERROR] /jobs/genie.webtools/webtools-sourceediting_R3_10/workspace/core/bundles/org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui/src/org/eclipse/wst/sse/ui/internal/StructuredTextAnnotationHover.java:[43]
[ERROR] HTMLPrinter.addPageProlog(buffer);
[ERROR] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[ERROR] The type java.lang.StringBuilder cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files

Affected jobs:

* https://hudson.eclipse.org/webtools/view/webtools_R3_10/job/webtools-sourceediting_R3_10/

* https://hudson.eclipse.org/webtools/view/webtools_R3_10/job/WTP-R3_10_Integration/

Anyone have time to investigate why this is failing, and offer a fix? I tried to have Hudson ignore the workspace settings files, which worked in the gerrit job but didn't fix the problem in the other jobs.

BTW, are the SSE committers seeing the mail sent to wtp-releng@xxxxxxxxxxx ?

Thanks in advance,
