This eclipse issue https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=58607 and the associated ME issue
https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/error-creating-ejb-s-and-servlets-closed/
has resulted in a fix that is required on a plugin basis. The following comment from the eclipse issue should shed some light:

OK, here are some explanations:

– Eclipse provides the ability that other plug-in can implement their own
classpath container. This is what MyEclipse does.
– the bogus JUNIT_HOME path variable is caused by a plug-in provided by
Eclipse. We will fix this for the next integration build (I20040420).
– this will not fix the problem with the bogus path provided by MyEclipse. So
to get this working some code has to be changed in MyEclipse.

Does the clarify some things ?

————————————————————————————-

The Junit classpath variables and the ME classpath variables had preceeding slashes. Apparently there was a defect in how the junit plugin defined its classpath container. The Junit code was changed from

JavaCore.setClasspathVariable(JUnitPlugin.JUNIT_HOME, new Path(local.getFile()), null);

to

String fullPath= new File(local.getPath()).getAbsolutePath();
JavaCore.setClasspathVariable(JUnitPlugin.JUNIT_HOME, new Path(fullPath), null);

I would like to suggest that ME adopt similar code since I have experienced the same problem on 2 different systems and in the past.

binyan,
You are the greatest! You really ran this down entirely yourself and got a fix committed to the Eclipse code base; great work!

I have passed the message onto the devs so we can reflect necessary changes on our end. Again, thank you for the help.
