Description Christian Damus CLA 2006-05-24 13:00:39 EDT 
Currently, the modeling path variables preference page shows only the variable names.  This is OK as long as it shows only the user-defined variables, because there is another page that shows their values.

However, resolution of bug 135545 will introduce variables that were not defined by the user.  Then, it will be valuable to know the locations to which they map.  This will help to dispel confusion where two variables of the same name appear, one in each of the lists.

Patch to add tool tips

Added a patch that shows a tool tip displaying the value of the path map when the mouse hovers over an item in either list.

The tool tip shows the filesystem location corresponding to the path variable (if the variable resolves to a file URI), otherwise the verbatim URI (which may be JAR scheme, platform:/plugin scheme, etc.).
