[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-14518?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Snjezana Peco edited comment on JBIDE-14518 at 10/16/13 1:07 PM: ----------------------------------------------------------------- This issue happens because the Eclipse compiler (as well as the JDK javac compiler) ignores unused fields. Have a look at the following class: {code} @RunWith(Arquillian.class) public class Test2 { @Inject Manager manager; // public class Manager extends SuperManager{@Inject public Handler handler;} @Deployment public static Archive<?> createDeployment() { WebArchive archive = ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class, "test.war") .addClasses( Manager.class) .addAsWebInfResource(EmptyAsset.INSTANCE, "beans.xml"); return archive; } @Test public void testInjected() { // System.out.println(manager); fail("Not yet implemented"); } } {code} Since the manager field isn't used, the compiler ignores it although it isn't resolved (SuperManager.class and Handler.class aren't included into the classpath). That would be correct if the field wasn't annotated and instantiated by a container at runtime. If you uncomment the "System.out.println(manager)" line, the compiler will recognize that SuperManager.class is required because the manager field isn't unused anymore. However, it won't recognize the Handler class is required since the Manager.handler field is now unused. The compiler internally marks such a field as unresolved what I utilized to make a workaround. Another solution would be to try to use a Java dependency/analysis tools (asm, for instance). was (Author: snjeza): This issue happens because the Eclipse compiler (as well as the JDK javac compiler) ignores unused fields.
