Hello,

Can someone please tell me I can gain access to Eclipse's reserved variables
such as ECLIPSE_HOME and JRE_SRC from my plugin?.

Thanks,
Denise

I've done some research and have come across the JavaCore and
EclipseHomeInitializer classes. I have added both jdtcore.jar and
pdecore.jar to my classpath, and tried finding these variables using these
classes.

To find the JRE_SRC I have tried to execute:
String[] variables = JavaCore.getClasspathVariableNames();
for (int i=0; i<variables.length; i++)
System.out.println("Variable: " + variables[i]);

But eclipse throws:
Unhandled exception caught in event loop.
Reason:
org/eclipse/jdt/core/JavaCore

For ECLIPSE_HOME I tried:
Preferences pref = PDECore.getDefault().getPluginPreferences();
String platformHome = pref.getString(ICoreConstants.PLATFORM_PATH);
System.out.println("ECLIPSE_HOME = " + platformHome);

But eclipse throws:
Unhandled exception caught in event loop.
Reason:
org/eclipse/pde/internal/core/PDECore
Unhandled exception caught in event loop.
Reason:
Failed to execute runnable (java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/eclipse/pde/internal/core/PDECore)

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Denise

In case anyone is interested in the resolution - I added
org.eclipse.pde.core & org.eclipse.jdt.core to my plugin's dependencies, and
I can now access the variables. I'd be interested to know of any
alternative methods of achieving the same results without requiring those
plugins to be loaded.

Thanks.
