| Defining a classpath variable |
| </h1> |
| <p> |
| Classpath variables are stored global to the workbench; in other words, all projects in the workbench can share the classpath variables. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| To add or change a class path variable, follow these steps: |
| </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| Open the |
| <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.jdt.ui.preferences.ClasspathVariablesPreferencePage)")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.png"> |
| <strong>Java > Build Path > Classpath Variables</strong></a> |
| preference page. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| This page allows you to add, edit, or remove class path variables. |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| To add a new class path variable, click the <strong>New...</strong> button. The New Variable Entry page opens. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| To edit an existing class path variable, select the variable in the <strong>Defined class path variables</strong> list and click |
| the <strong>Edit...</strong> button. The Edit Variable Entry page opens. <em>Note: The reserved class path variables, JRE_LIB, JRE_SRC, and |
| JRE_SRCROOT cannot be edited in this page. To change them, change the default workbench JRE on the |
| <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui.preferences.VMPreferencePage)")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.png"> |
| <strong>Java > Installed JREs</strong></a> preference page.</em> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| Type a name for the variable in the <strong>Name</strong> field. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Type a path to be referenced by the variable in the <strong>Path</strong> field. You can also click the <strong>File</strong> |
| or <strong>Folder</strong> buttons to browse the file system. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Click <strong>OK</strong> when you are done. The new or modified variable appears in the <strong>Defined class path variables</strong> list on the Preferences page. |
| </li> |
