Question

When you add a folder in eclipse using link a source directory we can use variables. I need to know where these variables and their values are stored. Is it in a configuration file?

I followed the below , Went to eclipse, (java) project properties, and then java build path.

Now I clicked on link source and added a variable – say top_root and pointed to a location say – c:\temp

I used the same to link a source directory. This information is available in .project file.

I need to know, in which file test=c:\temp will be configured / available.

<link>
   <name>java</name>
   <type>2</type>
   <locationURI>top_root/src/java</locationURI>
</link>

Answer 1

eclipse-3.5.2\workspace\\.metadata\\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\\.settings\org.eclipse.core.resources.prefs

The configuration was available, Inside the above folder, this file org.eclipse.core.resources.prefs

pathvariable.top_root=C\:/temp

search for all prefs files
