Description Kirill Sorokin 2006-09-22 07:29:03 UTC 
NB 6.0 dev 060830

It looks like the IDE does not recognize sun-specific packages. Given that the
attached code is valid for the target JDK (tried Sun's 1.5.0_08/BEA 1.5.0_06/IBM
1.4.2), I can't make the IDE complete the sun.reflect package and Fix Imports
fails with "No imports found for the following types: - sun".

I understand perfectly that using this type of classes/packages is bad practice,
but it's valid and the IDE should not deny it. A warning in the editor (saying
something like "using this class is vendor-specific and breaks portability
blah-blah") would be a good-mannered behavior.

PS Not sure about the category, please reassign if I missed the correct one.

You're right. It looks like part of JDK jars is not parsed. If I browse the JDK
jars under Library node and unfold sun.reflect package (can be found in rt.jar)
it starts to work.

It is said that setting -J-Dorg.netbeans.javacore.ignorePackages=\"\" should fix
the problem, but it does not work for me. Btw, is there a (somewhat) complete
list of system properties recognized by NetBeans?

Javacore module was replaced by Retouche infrastructure. This bug is not valid
in trunk any more.
