I recently upgraded to 6.0.1 GA of MyEclipse. I previously have used 5.5. In 6.x, the project_loc variable no longer seems to be remembered when you leave the project context. Previously, this was not the case. This causes launches to fail with a message about project_loc being unset. I use project_loc to configure launch configurations that I reuse across multiple projects. This allows me to have just one definition of the configuration that works across many projects. I would prefer to have the old behavior so that I don’t have to remember to click on something before I launch. This also makes it impossible to run single junit tests because if you right click on a test and try to launch it, it will no longer be in the project context and you will get the project_loc undefined error. Is it possible this is a regression?

I’m sorry but I don’t understand what your asking about. Where do you see this “project_loc” variable mentioned in MyEclipse? Can you send me a screenshot clarifying what your asking about?

I’ll send you a screen shot if you send me your public email address (see my note to you). ${project_loc} is a variable that is exported by the IDE. It used to be sticky in the last release so that it remained set until you clicked into a different project context. You could use it like this to configure a build script for example:

${project_loc}//build.xml

Now, you get a popup window every time you happen to change out of the current project context and try to launch something.

Still waiting on a valid external address so I can send a screenshot.

rtulloh,
You can hit the “pm” button at the bottom of my post and send me the screen shot. Or you can hit the Post Reply button and upload the screenshot here.
