Description Adam Wilson CLA 2002-05-29 14:06:55 EDT 
PROBLEM:
When an external tool is configured with a tool location that is workspace-
relative (i.e. the location starts with the "${workspace_loc}" variable) the 
Edit Dialog does incorrect validation on the location and says that the "Tool 
location does not exist."  This also occurs with workspace-relative working 
directories.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. On the menu bar, go to Run -> External Tools -> Configure...
2. Click on New...
3. Set the tool name to something.
4. For the tool location, select Browse Workspace...
5. Select an existing file in the workspace and click on OK.
The status line at the top will now say "Tool location does not exist."

The variables in these fields are not expanded when validation is done.  They 
should be handled as in 
org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.internal.core.DefaultRunnerContext#expandVariables
(String)
