EG (6/11/2001 2:49:58 AM) 1) start a new worksspace 2) add some Java projects from the repository -> the autobuilder starts building and there are many errors: reference to non-existing class java.lang.object The problem is that the Java UI sets the JRE variables, but it never got activated in the above scenario. The consequence is that the variables are not set. NOTES: EG (6/11/2001 2:51:02 AM) Fix would be an extension point in CORE that allows clients to plugin additional code that should be run on activation. The UI would implmeent the extension point and add code that sets the JRE variables. PM (9/13/2001 11:45:24 AM) Agreed.
*** Bug 5285 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Implementing the proposal http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/~checkout~/org.eclipse.jdt.core/notes/r 2.0/variable%20init/uninit-classpath-vars.html It will call the initializer each time a variable is left unbound. We might want to funace this behavior to only give one chance for initializing the variable, and potentially also asking for initializing if the variable is bound to an undefined location ? Currently, it will be called several times (until variable is initialized), and only if the variable is undefined.
Released into next integration build. Note though that a variable initializer will only be called once per session (unlike my previous comment did state). Fixed.
