Hi IvyDE developers, I installed the current trunk version of IvyDE (got it from the update site for trunk builds. Plugin name is org.apache.ivyde.feature_2.2.0.beta2-201309081502-hudson-268) and I'm trying to use the workspace resolver to develop an Eclipse RCP application.
Because I don't know, if the following phenomenon is a feature or a bug (the docs don' t tell much about it) I thought to send the problem to dev list: I'm developing two plugins A and B in the same workspace. B depends on A. I use an IvyDE classpath container instead of the PDE one for both plugin projects. A has two packages: api (which is exported, i.e. listed in the plugin's manifest in section "Export-Package") and impl (which is not exported, i.e. not listed in the plugin's manifest). Now it is possible to access classes of package impl of plugin A from the project of plugin B without getting error markers in Eclipse. After setting the checkbox "Read OSGi metadata" on the global preferences of IvyDE I expected that this will cause IvyDE to setup the OSGi visibility constraints but the code in B that accesses the "hidden" classes from A is still not marked with an error. If I remove the IvyDE classpath containers from the plugin projects and use the PDE classpath container the error markers appear. My question is: Is this behaviour of the IvyDE classpath container a bug or is it a feature that the checkbox "Read OSGi metadata" should not work with project dependencies, i.e. the workspace resolver? IMHO it would be a great feature if "Read OSGi metadata" and the workspace resolver would work together so that the workspace resolver automatically sets up the OSGi visibility constraints for "upstream" projects in the workspace. If it's a bug please someone tell me if I should file a bug report and if I should provide some example code.
