Description Arjen CLA 2008-09-17 04:29:52 EDT 
In my project I have some referenced libraries. However when I want to open a class of such a library, which contains a valid source location (which is based on a variable, extended with some folders to get at the right place) it will not be able to find it. After modifying the source location, it is able to find it. For example:

My source exists at: C:\mysource\somelib\src\java
I have a variable (called 'MY_SRC') pointing to C:\mysource

My source location is: /MY_SRC/somelib/src/java
After starting Eclipse it is not able to find the source for a certain class within that library. When I remove the last part of the path and make it '/MY_SRC/somelib/src' it is able to find it. However, after restarting eclipse it cannot find it again. So, after changing it back to '/MY_SRC/somelib/src/java' it is able to find it again. Currently I am continuesly switching between those two settings for all my referenced libraries.

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the problem. Would you have an example project and source directory that show the problem? Also what is your Eclipse build id?
Comment 2 Arjen CLA 2008-09-22 02:34:02 EDT 
The Eclipse build id is: I20080617-2000

I will attach a sample project later
