Description srg 2007-10-08 14:19:01 UTC 
With the OpenOffice.org plugin for NetBeans, there are interface definition files for the communication with
OpenOffice.org. These are compiled directly to .class files in the build/classes directory. 
This directory ("Compiled Sources") is added to the list of "Compile Libraries". But when the idl classes are used in
Java, they are marked as "cannot find symbol" in the Editor.
Compiling works nonetheless.
Do files that are used from build/classes have to exist as .java files?
Comment 1 Jan Lahoda 2007-10-26 14:18:01 UTC 
Well, build/classes is (mostly) ignored, as it is supposed that the classfile inside are generated from the
corresponding Java sources (which are the authoritative source of information for the editor). The classfiles would not
be ignored if they would be part of a classpath entry which does not have any sources attached. Please see also issue
#116208 for possible workarounds. Sorry, but I do not think this is fixable.
Comment 2 srg 2007-10-29 10:21:38 UTC 
OK. I will work around this.
