Description Peter Oxenham CLA 2005-06-06 00:12:11 EDT
I use elcipse at work in a team environment and as such the .project and
.classpath files are checked into CVS. I like to use User Libraries to group
external jars together, but the problem with this is that the library definition
has hard coded paths in them. Therefore when a colleague checks out the project
and imports my libraries (which I have exported and checked into CVS) they have
the wrong path names.

I could use classpath variables but then the Package Explorer gets to cluttered
with jar entries instead of a few library entries.

What would be great would be to combine the use of classpath variable within the
'User Library' definition. That way when someone else checks out the project adn
imports the library difinitions all they have to change is a few variables.
