We have a package that ends with exception e.g.
package a.b.c.exception;
Our code base had no issues up till eclipse 3.3, however when we shifted to eclipse 3.4, it started giving errors related to this package:
"The package a.b.c.exception collides with a type"
When I refactor the package name to a.b.c.exceptions, there are no issues. Is this due to a bug in eclipse 3.4 or is there some setting to rectify this behavior?
I changed one of the compilation option in eclipse and the problem disappeared. Under workspace properties: Java Compiler -> Errors/Warnings -> Change 'Unused import' from 'Warning' to 'Ignore'.
