Eclipse uses target path instead of symlink for workspace on Ubuntu [message #1241903]

Hi,

my Workspace is symlinked, but Eclipse is not using symlink path, but the symlink's target path.

Example:
1. Symlink path: $HOME/MyWorkspace
2. Symlink target: /mnt/MountPoint/MyWorkspace

In Resource location Eclipse shows "/mnt/MountPoint/MyWorkspace/MyProject" (2. - symlink target), and not "$HOME/MyWorkspace/MyProject" (1. - symlink path), which defets the whole purpose of symlinks.

When I move the workspace to another machine and set the same workspace path, Eclipse reports that something is missing at path 2.

Is it a bug, or is there a setting that can tell Eclipse to always use the symlink path, not its target?

Eclipse Juno SR2
Ubuntu 12.04

Best regards,

vlatko
