Re: [cdt-dev] Release Notes for CDT 1.2

Yes, I'm using hostname1 for testing where the mount points include /net/hostname2/home on hostname2:/home

And yes, if I create my own symbolic link, the same thing happens.

Interesting, are you using automount points(auto_fs) ?

If the automounter when resolving the path is returning
/net/hostname/home/... instead of /home/...

I'm wondering if in automount point,

                 IResouce.getLocation().toOSString();

is returning a different value.

Is this visible via the CDT/Debug only ? 

So for example if you do

# /tmp/myworkspace
# cd /home/twolff; ln -s /tmp/myworkspace workspace
# eclipse -data /home/twollf/workspace

You may have the same problem,(depending on the OS behaviour
for symbolic links)
