How did you determine this? Are you not seeing .class files generated
for these classes?
Correct. Nor are there any compiler errors or warnings for them.

So the error you get is exactly this?
"The type NSDictionary is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with
arguments ..."
That's the compiler error that I get in the project that *depends* on the project in which some .java files are being skipped.
If you are using 5.4.3 you should never see this error, unless your custom NSDictionary class has no generic type info and is actually causing the error.
I get that error in NSDictionary.java in the project where files are being skipped, too. (I should have been more clear, sorry.) I don't see why he would've included NSDictionary.java in the source unless it was to try to work around that very problem on his machine. > Now for the kicker: this project does not include the Project Wonder

Dictionary.java, do you mean NSDictionary.java?
Yes, sorry. > So I can't solve this by ensuring that ERExtensions appears in the

Based on what little detail you have provided, I would guess that the
apps are being built against WO 5.4 on the PC, and you have WO 5.3 or
earlier installed on your mac. Alternatively you have a custom
NSDictionary that is not being included in the classpath in the same
order on the two machines.
The PC is running Linux, so it's not clear to me how he has installed WO at all; I think he has simply placed the libraries in a place where they can be referenced. I have WO 5.4.3 on my Mac.
There is a custom version of NSDictionary.java in the project in which some files are being skipped. The classpaths appear to be the same on both machines.
How about the classpath "order", it's the last tab in the build path property sheet.
Yes, those are the same, too. (Just double-checked from a screen shot he gave me.)
