Description Jerome Lanneluc CLA 2002-12-19 07:10:28 EST 
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'.
Comment 1 Jerome Lanneluc CLA 2002-12-19 07:11:37 EST 
BuildPathsBlock.updateBuildPathStatus() should use IJavaModelStatus.getMessage
() instead of IJavaModelStatus.getString().
Comment 2 Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2003-01-07 03:37:13 EST 
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?)
Comment 3 Philipe Mulet CLA 2003-01-07 08:19:56 EST 
Name collision sounds counter intuitive, we should improve this message anyway.
Suggestion for matching #getString behavior is interesting too.
Comment 4 Jerome Lanneluc CLA 2003-01-24 08:55:02 EST 
Deprecated getString() and changed getMessage() to use the string in the case 
of NAME_COLLISION.

Updated ClasspathTests.testDuplicateEntries() to reflect this change.
