Sorry, I don't know if this issue is with the core IDE, the Java implementation, the Java
compiler or the Java editor.



NetBeans 6.0.1 is reporting an error in several of my Java source files that are not errors.
The error indicates that a method with a certain signature in a certain class does not
exist, but if I navigate to the source for this class, the method with that signature is
clearly there.  I cannot navigate directly to the method Declaration, however.

When I do a clean build, there are no errors for the project, so I assume the problem is
with the internal Java compiler???



The code for which an error indicated is this:

<code>
    ParsedInfo cleanedText = new Parser().parse( ctx,
                                                 sb.toString(),
                                                 "batch import",
                                                 "IMPORTER",
                                                 "ParseCOntactInfo",
                                                 false,
                                                 false,
                                                 true );
</code>

1) ctx is a javax.Servlet.ServletContext
2) sb is a StringBuffer, so sb.toString() returns String.



Here the code the defined the desired parse() method of class Parser:

<code>
  public ParsedInfo parse( ServletContext ctx,
                           String         data,
                           String         sourceName,
                           String         name,
                           String         resultIsa,
                           boolean        doFailureCheck,
                           boolean        stripOnly,
                           boolean        emailCatastrophes )
                    throws Exception
</code>

ServletContext comes from package javax.servlet.



The IDE claims it cannot find symbol:
    method parse(javax.servlet.ServletContext,String,String,String,String,boolean,boolean,boolean)
in class Parser.

As I said, if I navigate to the source for the class, the method is there.
Also, if I highlight the method, and do a "Find Usages", 10 usages are
found, including the one listed above.  And, strangely enough, in the
Usages results, this particular usage is again flagged as an error.

There is a deprecated parse() method in this same class that has one less
String parameter, if that makes any difference.  If I remove the @deprecated
annotation from this method, nothing changes.

All of these classes are in the same NetBeans project.

I will see if I can come with some minimal code that can be used to reproduce
this problem.
