Classpath Variables Preferences

Configurable variables

Classpath variables can be used in a Java Build Path to avoid a reference to the local file system. Using a variable entry, the classpath only contains a variable and the build path can be shared in a team. The value of such variables is configured on the Opens the Classpath Variables preference page Java > Build Path > Classpath Variables preference page.
