Description kfud CLA 2004-10-06 17:18:51 EDT 
A project that uses the exported JRE of another dependent project will build,
but when a launch is defined and ran, it fails with
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object.

Example: ProjectB has no JRE and is dependent on ProjectA which has a JRE that
is exported.  ProjectB will build, but if a launch is defined and ran in
ProjectB, it will fail with the previously mentioned Error.

The work around is to add a JRE in ProjectB.

This actually works in 3.1, as we infer the emtpy bootpath to be the default 
bootpath. However, we should look for an "inherited" JRE via the exported 
classpath entry in a pre-req.

Deferred for post 3.1
Comment 3 Denis Roy CLA 2009-08-30 02:17:37 EDT 
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
