Description Pavel Buzek 2003-02-07 12:57:52 UTC 
The documentation for java project apis says that the list of compilation units returned from 
JavaProject.getCompilationUnits () containes a null compilation unit that represents sources 
that should not be compiled. There is however no way to find out which one it is. It would be 
useful to make it possible to locate this unit, e.g. by JavaProject.getNullCompilationUnit (), or 
perhaps just declare a constant with a name of this unit (to compare with 
compilationUnit.getName()).
This is needed to:
1) assign sources to null CU
2) filter out the null CU when you want to work with "real" CUs
Comment 1 Svata Dedic 2003-02-07 13:00:43 UTC 
What about getBuildTarget() == null ?
Comment 2 Pavel Buzek 2003-02-07 13:32:55 UTC 
All right. Could this be (explicitly) mentioned in documentation that this is how to recognize it? It is 
logical, but ... :-)
Thanks!
