Finding java.lang.String [message #254088]

Hi Folks,

I'm failing to resolve java.lang.String as an IType using the

IJavaProject.findType(String)

method. When I pass in "java.lang.String", the result is null. I have
the same problem with other standard JDK types, but not with
user-defined types on the project's classpath. Is this working as
designed? The javadoc claims it will locate any type on the project's
class path. Are the JDK's runtime JARs not considered part of the
project's classpath?

Thanks,
- Paul

Paul,

What does IJavaProject.gerResolvedClasspath(true) return?
Is rt.jar included in the resulting classpath?
If not, then it looks like the project's classpath was not correctly
set up and it will not find "java.lang.String".
