[news.eclipse.platform] Re: Access restriction problem when using Java 6

[Joel Rosi-Schwartz <Joel.Rosi-Schwartz@xxxxxxxxx>]

Achim,

Thanks for that, but this does not seem to help. Michael, as Achim has
already been through this, possibly he can take a look at your JAXB and
fileaccess plug-ins to see if he has any idea.

I am going to pass this back to you Michael, as it does not make sense for
me to be focusing on this at the moment. Let me know if I can assist though.

Joel
