strange behavior of JavaCore.getClasspathVariable() in 3.0RC1 [message #248653]

Hi,
I am using the JavaCore.getClasspathVariable("JRE_LIB") function in my
plugin to get the classpath entry of the jre classlibrary. This was
working fine in eclipse 3.0 M8. However in 3.0RC1 it is giving strange
errors. When I use the run-time workbench and invoke the menu that carries
this action, sometimes I am getting null as the return value and sometimes
it returns the proper value. I am unable to get hold of the cause as it
seems unpredictable. Anyone got any ideas as to why this might happen in
this version?

The java doc for the function says that it returns null if it can't bind
the variable name but then it should do that at all times and not as it
wishes. I am grateful for any help.

Thanks,
Ximor.

I would try to find out who binds this variable (by putting a breakpoint in
JavaCore.setClasspathVariables(...)) in the case it is bound.
