Can not use the com.sun.net.HTTPServer.httpserver

Question

I am using Eclipse Indigo and Java jdk7.

I'd like to create a litte webserver, but I am not able to use sun's webserver.

When I type:

{
 com.sun.net.httpserver.httpserver server;
}

I get the following Eclipse-Error-Message:

Description Resource    Path    Location    Type
Access restriction: The type HttpServer is not accessible due to restriction
    on required library C:\jdk1.7.0\jre\lib\rt.jar
Server.java /REST-Server/src/com/test/restserver    line 7  Java Problem

What am I doing wrong here? I do not have to include any other jar? Do I?

You shouldn't use Sun's internal packages since they can be not present in other VM's. If you're sure you won't use other VM then Sun's/Oracle's, you can disable this warning in Project properties -> Java Compiler -> Errors/Warnings -> Deprecated and restricted API
