Description Serge Beauchamp

If I add the following project path variable in the  "Resource | Linked Resources | Path Variables" property page:

Name: FOO
Value: C:\

The value gets recorded as an empty string after I close and re-open the preference panel.

The root cause of this bug is because doing 

new Path("C:"

isn't the same as doing 

new Path("C:\"

and, in the first case, will return false for Path.isAbsolute().

Just a comment.  We use org.eclipse.jface.util.Util.isWindows() or isWin32() in ui.workbench and ui.ide.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
