Description sbeam 2006-09-20 15:28:01 UTC

If you change the $dist.dir to a folder outside the project dir:

$dist.dir=../global_dist

Other projects referencing that project cannot find it's sources with the "goto
declaration" anymore. Javadocs are not shown in code completion either. 

Everything builds and runs perfectly though.

Reassigned to editor/navigation.

Comment 2 Vitezslav Stejskal 2007-02-18 23:41:02 UTC

I think the problem is somewhere in the java modules. Here is some more
information. Assuming there are two projects A and B and the B project depends on A.

1. If the $dist.dir property is changed after the project dependency has been
established the B project won't compile.
2. If the $dist.dir property is changed first and then the project dependency is
created the compilation works fine, but some of the editor services do not work
(eg. code completion, javadoc, navigation), some others work fine (eg. fix
imports, syntax & semantic coloring).

Comment 3 Tomas Zezula 2007-02-28 10:24:02 UTC

Seems as a problem in SourceForBinaryQueryImplementation. Which project type are
you using (j2se, web, j2ee)?

Comment 4 Jiri Prox 2008-02-22 14:35:44 UTC

I can reproduce it with j2se project, but in my case code completion works, only source and javadoc cannot be found.

Comment 5 Tomas Zezula 2008-02-25 12:49:58 UTC

The same cause.
