[news.eclipse.tools.jdt] Re: Where and how are the Variable Classpath En

[Markus Keller <markus_keller@xxxxxxxxxx>]

They are being set through the API 
org.eclipse.jdt.core.JavaCore.setClasspathVariables(String[], IPath[], 
IProgressMonitor).

If you look at the implementation, you see that they are in the end 
stored JavaModelManager.variablePreferencesPut(String, IPath), which 
puts them into the instance preferences. Those are stored in 
<workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs 
under keys org.eclipse.jdt.core.classpathVariable.<variableName>

But that's an internal implementation detail that may change at any time.

HTH,
Markus
