Hi, by default (i.e. with stock workspace settings), forbidden references raise errors. But in AbstractJavaProjectConfigurator[1], the default forbiddenReference value is always set to "warning", unless user preferences have already been set[2]) Any idea why?
Only reason I see would be to make eclipse as lenient as maven, but I believe this is precisely a situation where we want the IDE to be stricter. Ex: would better detect the use of JVM specific classes and force users to conscientiously change the forbidden references settings in Project Properties > Java > Compiler > Error/Warnings > Deprecated and Restricted API. These custom settings being preserved on Maven Project Update. Another reason to keep the default workspace value is I want to be able to add custom access rules on EJB projects dependencies, in order to simulate "ejb-client" type dependencies in m2e-wtp. In that use case, I expect any project depending on non-ejbclient vetted class would see an error (red marker). Soooo, I propose we remove that piece of code in AbstractJavaProjectConfigurator : // 360962 keep forbidden_reference severity set by the user IJavaProject jp = JavaCore.create(request.getProject()); if(jp != null && jp.getOption(JavaCore.COMPILER_PB_FORBIDDEN_REFERENCE, true) == null) { options.put(JavaCore.COMPILER_PB_FORBIDDEN_REFERENCE, "warning"); //$NON-NLS-1$ } Any objections?
