Description John Arthorne CLA 2006-05-23 14:16:05 EDT
Build: 3.2

IPathVariableManager currently only allows path variable values to be IPaths.  It should be extended to allow defining path variables relative to arbitrary URIs.

The implementation of "public IStatus validateValue(URI path)" function in org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.PathVariableManager returns always null.

It should return a status object with code OK or a status object indicating what is wrong with the value.

best regards
