Use sun.* classes in Eclipse Java project

Question

I was sent some Java code that uses classes in the sun.awt.shell package, which is not part of the JDK public API, so Eclipse will not compile the project:

Access restriction: The method getIcon(boolean) from the type ShellFolder is not accessible due to restriction on required library /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Classes/classes.jar

While I agree with the sentiment, can I coerce Eclipse to compile it anyway?

Answer 1

在Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Compiler -> Errors/Warnings ，找到“Deprecated and restricted API section”，并将“Forbidden reference”设置从Error更改为Warning或Ignore。
