Eclipse won't save custom env variables [message #1495833] Tue, 02 December 2014 14:57

Hi guys,

No matter what I do, I'm unable to get Eclipse to save the custom environment variables I set. They don't seem to survive a restart of Eclipse, which is incredibly frustrating as they're necessary to get a build.

I've tried on the following platforms:
Ubuntu 12.04, OpenJDK-7, ARM DS-5 Ultimate 5.17 (Eclipse 4.3)
Ubuntu 12.04, OpenJDK-7, ARM DS-5 Ultimate 5.20 (Eclipse 4.3)
Ubuntu 12.04, Oracle Java 1.8.0_25, Eclipse 4.4

The problem persists, and is not due to permissions. The environment variable is saved to
"${PROJECT_DIR}/.settings/org.eclipse.cdt.core.prefs" and does persist relaunching with the variable intact, but Eclipse seems to ignore this. I've also tried editing it externally, but Eclipse doesn't notice - it just seems to do a "fire and forget". If I right click the project and export the preferences, they show up. Likewise, if I import the preferences, they remain invisible in the environment tab.

Any help appreciated as solving this is becoming increasingly time-consuming.
