[news.eclipse.tools.jdt] Re: Find the IType for a class

[Frederic Fusier <frederic_fusier@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The IJavaProject.findType(String) method should find any type which is on
the project classpath. So, if your jar is on your project classpath (it should
be the case, I guess), then you could use this method to find any type in it.

If you cannot find a type in your jar although it is on your classpath, then
first verify that the given name is well qualified or that it is not a secondary
type (see javadoc comment of the method). If the given parameter is correct
then open a bug against JDT/Core component with a detailed description of your
project configuration, the jar file containing the type you're trying to find
using this method, thanks
