Description DJ Houghton CLA 2002-11-11 21:59:56 EST 
We should have a method for getting path variable information for the location 
of a linked resource.

In the resource properties page we display the location which is calculated 
from #getLocation() which is the resolved location.

I don't believe that there is currently any way to see what variable your 
linked resource uses.

Need to talk to the Platform/UI team to see if this is necessary.
Comment 2 John Arthorne CLA 2002-11-21 17:30:04 EST 
Done.  New API method IResource.getRawLocation() returns the location of linked
resources and projects with the variable name intact.  This has been released to
HEAD (along with new tests).
