Build ID: I20070625-1500

Steps To Reproduce:
1.I'm using MyEcklipse 6.0.1 GA so some of what I describe to reproduce the problem may be specific to that set of extensions. They told me to report this problem to you.
2.Create 30+ projects with 40 user libraries. The average project contains 20+ files. (I've also got 37 databases defined, but I don't think that's reevant to the problem.)
2.Display lots of files
4.Close the workbench with everything open
5.Open the workbench
6.View the list of user libraries. Often, but NOT ALWAYS, some of the user libraries will be missing from the list. Fortunately for my code development, the libraries usually do show up.



More information:
I looked at some of the files in .metadata and noticed that the user libraries are defined in:

workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.userLibrary org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs

where the library most likely to disappear is the last one. Sometimes, the user library list shows as few as 15 libraries.

The likelihood that libraries will show up seems to be inversely proportional to the number of files I've left open for viewing.

My guess is that libraries are handled by a thread at startup, and that the main part of startup assumes the thread has finished when it hasn't.
