Access restriction Is not accessible due to restriction on required library jre lib rt jar

Question

I am trying to modify some legacy code from while back and getting the following kind of errors   Access restriction  The method create JAXBRIContext  Object  from the type Headers is not accessible due to restriction on required library    jre lib rt jar   for these import statements   import com sun xml internal bind api JAXBRIContext  import com sun xml internal ws api message Header  import com sun xml internal ws api message Headers  import com sun xml internal ws developer WSBindingProvider    Been searching what this might mean and how to fix it  however not been able to find a clear answer  Some posts seem to suggest that I have some JARs included that implement classes that are now available as part of the core java distribution  but as far as I can see none of the JARs I include contain different older versions of the above classes   Anyone able to tell me what this error is all about and how I might go about fixing this    Thanks for your help already in advance   Olli

I m responding to this question because I had a different way of fixing this problem than the other answers had  I had this problem when I refactored the name of the plugins that I was exporting  Eventually I had to make sure to fix change the following    The product file s dependencies   The plugin xml dependencies  and make sure it is not implicitly imported using the imported packages dialog   The run configuration plug-ins tab  Run As  - Run Configurations- Plug-ins tab  Uncheck the old plugins and then click Add Required Plug-ins    This worked for me  but your mileage may vary

I had the same problem when my plugin was depending on another project  which exported some packages in its manifest file  Instead of changing access rules  I have managed to solve the problem by adding the required packages into its Export-Package section  This makes the packages legally visible  Eclipse actually provides this fix on the  Access restriction  error marker

In the eclipse environment where you execute your java programs  take the following steps    Click on Project just above the menu bar in eclipse    Click on properties    Select libraries  click on the existing library and click Remove on the right of the window    Repeat the process and now click add library  then select JRE system library and click OK

Go to Buildpath  Remove Existing JRE and add new JRE library which contain Jdk1 6 and finish  Now clean all project and build again   I think this way you can resolved your error

Not a true solution  but everywhere I looked the solution suggested was to simply tell Eclipse that those aren t errors  You can change it by going to Properties --  Java Compiler --  Errors Warnings --  Deprecated and restrited APIs --  Forbidden reference  acess rule   Change it from Error to Warning or Ignore

I ran into something similar  I think that the cause of the warning is Eclipse trying to discourage you from using the internal com sun packages that are installed as part of your workspace JRE but which are not part of the public Java API   As Justin says in his answer  changing your compiler settings can hide the warning  A more fine-grained approach is to modify your build path to explicitly allow access to the package in question    Open the Libraries tab of the Java Build Path project property window  Expand the JRE System Library entry  Select  Access rules  and hit the Edit button  Click the Add button in the resulting dialog  For the new access rule  set the resolution to Accessible and the pattern to  com sun xml internal        After adding this access rule  your project should build without these warning
