FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.5.0_02"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_02-b09)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_02-b09, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I create an SSL RMI Socket factory and try to set it as the socket factory to use,
but get a class mismatch by the compiler. The call to setSocketFactory expects an argument of type RMISocketFactory, but SslRMIServerSocketFactory does not inherit from that class.

This is under Eclipse Version: 3.0.0. Interestingly enough, when I try to compile the class using javac, I get a message that javax.rmi.ssl does not exist.


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Build the class and try to compile it.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Working compilation
ACTUAL -
Compile time error.


ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
The method setSocketFactory(RMISocketFactory) in the type RMISocketFactory is not applicable for the arguments (SslRMIServerSocketFactory)


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
