Access restriction on class due to restriction on required library rt.jar?

Question

I\'m attempting to compile Java 1.4 code that was created by IBM\'s WSDL2Java on Java5 without recreating

Answer 1

There's another solution that also works.

1. Go to the Build Path settings in the project properties.
2. Remove the JRE System Library
3. Add it back; Select "Add Library" and select the JRE System Library. The default worked for me.

This works because you have multiple classes in different jar files. Removing and re-adding the JRE lib will make the right classes be first. If you want a fundamental solution make sure you exclude the jar files with the same classes.

For me I have: javax.xml.soap.SOAPPart in three different jars: axis-saaj-1.4.jar, saaj-api-1.3.jar and the rt.jar
