Java Editor displays wrong and misleading Code Hints, falsely reporting missing packages, symbols, variables etc. The same project opened in NB55 does not display any wrong hints. Missing package is reported every time, when it comes from a jar X, that is referenced in the "Class-Path" attribute of another jar Y. The jar Y is included in the library which is added to the project. According to the Jar-File mainfest spec for the "Class-Path" attribute (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/jar/jar.html#Main%20Attributes) "The application or extension class loader uses the value of this attribute to construct its internal search path" Obviously, the Editor just ignores the "Class-Path" attribute provided in the jar Y
Consequencely, Files and Packages windows display wrong information about the current compilation status of the corresponding folders and packages, falsely indicating that not all files/packages are compiled (while they actually are compiled).
Nothing wrong with the editor - the editor uses a classpath that is provided by the project type. Please see issue #105927 for more details. BTW: when reassigning bugs, always use "Reassign issue to owner of selected subcomponent". Thanks. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 105927 ***
