Description Gunnar Wagenknecht CLA 2004-03-14 23:57:55 EST 
Our plugins have their own set of preference pages. If someone press the apply 
button, some settings are performed and some Java classpath and Platform path 
variables are set/updated.

If someone has opened (instanciated) the Platform's path variable preference 
page before, then modified our page, then pressed apply, and then reselect it, 
its internal model is not updated. It still contains the old path variables.

The Java's classpath variable preference page has excactly the same problem. I 
have to close and reopen the preferences dialog to see the new values.

see also bug 54787
Comment 2 Darin Wright CLA 2004-03-19 10:31:03 EST 
The path variable page is owned by Platform-UI. The java page is JDT-UI.

Moving to JDT-UI for comment.
Comment 3 Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2004-03-19 12:30:04 EST 
I fixed this for the classpath variable preference page (see bug 54787).

This is the stategy that we also have for the build path property page:

When leaving the page, the user is prompted to save the setting so other pages
see the changes.
Whe the page is entered, the page checks if the saved sate is different than
before and if yes, it refreshes the page (all unsaved changes ar lost)

No plans for 3.0
Comment 5 Tod Creasey CLA 2004-06-28 11:28:00 EDT 
Reopening now that 3.0 has shipped
Comment 6 Tod Creasey CLA 2005-02-01 13:53:07 EST 
This might be an interesting case for the working copy support in 3.1.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
