Description Jerome Lanneluc

Build 20021218

In the build path property of project P1, if you enter a path to another 
project (e.g. P2/bin), you get an error message that just says 'P2/bin'.

BuildPathsBlock.updateBuildPathStatus() should use IJavaModelStatus.getMessage
() instead of IJavaModelStatus.getString().

Note that I recently changed from IJavaModelStatus.getMessage()
to IJavaModelStatus.getString() because getMessage gives an unspecific message 
like 'Name collision.' I just checked in 200212, it still seems to be the case.

I agree that that getMessage() should be used, and changed back. (> 20030107)
Can you please make sure that getMessage is at least as good getString()?
Maybe to get rid of the confusion getMessage could return the same as getString 
(deprecate getString?)

Name collision sounds counter intuitive, we should improve this message anyway.
Suggestion for matching #getString behavior is interesting too.

Comment 4 Jerome Lanneluc

Deprecated getString() and changed getMessage() to use the string in the case 
of NAME_COLLISION.

Updated ClasspathTests.testDuplicateEntries() to reflect this change.
