How can I eliminate a "not defined" warning referring to a java.util class in my BOM file?

Question

I'm using ODM 8.5 (the JRules successor). I generated a BOM from an existing Java project. One of the generated classes in my bom file looks something like:

public class MyClass extends java.io.Serializable
{
    public java.util.UUID myId;
}

I get a warning:

[BOM] GBRMO0012W: Referenced type java.util.UUID is not defined

What do I need to do to get ODM to recognize Java classes in the BOM? I also see similar warnings about java.sql.Timestamp and others.

You can try generating a new BOM entry based on your JRE XOM and containing the classes responsible for the warnings:

1. Launch the 'New BOM Entry' wizard (File -> New -> BOM Entry in the Rules perspective).

2. In the first page of the 'New BOM Entry' wizard click 'Next >' (the option 'Create a BOM entry from a XOM' should be selected by default).

3. In the second page of the 'New BOM Entry' wizard, click on the 'Browse XOM...' button. The 'Browse XOM' dialog should pop-up.

4. In the 'Browse XOM' dialog, select the entry corresponding to your JRE, then click 'OK'.

5. In the 'New BOM Entry' wizard, tick the classes you are interested in, then click 'Finish'.

Note that it worked fine for me for java.util.UUID but I suspect that depending of which classes and members are imported into your BOM entry, you could end-up with other (lots of?) similar warnings.

Unfortunately, I didn't find any other way to get rid of those...
