PM59674: Building a project via Ant might result in a CHKJ2023W validation error

Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software 8.5

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Abstract:
  
  Attempts to build EJB projects and execute ejbDeploy headlessly
  result in incorrect EJB validation errors: CHKJ2023W the method
  op1 needs op1 to exist on package1.Class1.
  
  Problem:
  
  These steps reproduce the problem:
  
  1. Create an ANT script that imports projects, builds the
  workspace, performs EJB Deploy and deploys projects to an
  Application Server.
  
  2. Intermittently, the workspace starts showing EJB Validation
  errors.
  
  Examples of the incorrect EJB Validation errors are:
  
  
  CHKJ2023W: The op1() method
  needs op1() to exist on package1.Class1 (EJB 2.0: 7.10.5)
  
  The method op1 reported as missing is declared in a superclass
  of the EJB implementation class.
  
  The superclasse is stored in a Jar file,
  which is referenced via a custom classpath container.
  
  These errors are incorrect, in fact they disappear just by
  invoking validation manually.
  
  This issue is due to defect 372687 in Eclipse JDT:
  
  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=372687
  
  Local fix:
  
  Invoke validation by right-clicking on the project and
  selecting: Validate.
