This would be nice for workspace variables, as well.

These are probably different things, so I will explain:

Bob creates a new project in eclipse, and configures his external deps
with variables.  (XERCES --> c:\deps\xerces.jar)

Bob pushes his project out to CVS.


Now I come along, and add that module to my workspace.  In the Java
Build Path dialog, I can see variables which are referenced, but not
defined.  (They show up as an empty circle.)

I want to be able to double click on them, or hit a butten when it is
selected... and define that variable.

As it is now, I have to look at the name, memorize it, hit add
variable... click new, choose the file, and the name, hit ok..

Then, it tells me that the variable is already defined (it came in from
the .classpath file), so i have to hit cancel.

I know I can add workspace variables from the eclipse preferences
dialog, but then I can not see the names of the variables I need to add.

A one-click "define value of unsatisfied referenced variables" behavior
would be very nice, especially when bringing someone new onto a project.
