Description Andrew Niefer

2011-04-12 13:43:40 EDT

The Eclipse SDK I201104120955 was built using a recent PDE/Build containing the support for nested jars.

Looking at the resulting buildDirectory for I201104120955, the buildDirectory/nestedJars folder contains many variations of a com.ibm.icu subfolder.  Eg:
com.ibm.icu_4.4.2.v20110208
com.ibm.icu_4.4.2.v20110208_54de42d9  
com.ibm.icu_4.4.2.v20110208_93382b1e  
com.ibm.icu_4.4.2.v20110208_c47f5d2f

The extra _* folders are not required here because there is only one com.ibm.icu in the build.

I believe this is caused by not canonicalizing the absolute path to the icu jar in ClasspathElement#getAbsolutePath
