Description Claude Robitaille CLA 2015-05-26 07:58:21 EDT 
Using a makefile project, the buildPath attribute of the builder object seems to be ignored when editing the builder configuration. In the GUI, the build location gets replaced by some default value not corresponding to the value stored in .cproject.

To reproduce

1. Open a  C++ build configuration
2. Edit the build location to some value
3. Hit Apply
4. Close the configuration dialog box
5. Verify that .cproject contains the value assigned as the build location in the buildPath attribute
6. Open the same build configuration
7. Notice that the build location reverted to a default value
8. Hit Apply
9. Notice that .cproject contains the default value.

This is found in 8.6.0.201502131403. The bug is not present on another machine of mine, which is running 8.4.0.201406111759
