My employer just swapped out my laptop and it came with a new version of windows. with the new version they saw fit to move the locations of all the external jars we use so now all the user libraries that I created are now broken and none of my projects compile. This is not in and of itself an issue except that they also chose to lock down the directories where they used to be so I cannot just copy them back to the original path/folders. So my question is:
where is the file that contains all the information for the user libraries, their content, etc. so I can just edit it with something like UE where I can do a wholesale find/replace of the path(s).
I could go through the interface provided and remove/re-add them one by one but given the scope (about a dozen libraries with over 100 jars) that would take far more effort than it is worth.
Thanks,
Andre
andreazaroff,
The User Library definitions are stored in the workspace; specifically, in $Workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs file. In that file you will find all the user library definitions with org.eclipse.jdt.core.userLibrary.XXX where “XXX” is user library name.
After changing the paths, please save the file and restart MyEclispe to pick up the changes.
Let us know how it works for you.
