Hello, consider this simple test program which does not work as expected since org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.PathVariableManager.validateValue(URI) always returns null. I see this problem on Eclipse 3.7 and 3.8-prereleases.

try {
  String path = "C:\\temp";
  java.net.URI value = new java.io.File(path).toURI();
  IPathVariableManager pathManager = 
    ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getPathVariableManager();
  String name = "somename";
  IStatus statusName = pathManager.validateName(name);
  IStatus statusValue = pathManager.validateValue(value);

  if (statusName == null || statusValue == null) {
    System.err.println("statusName is " + (statusName == null ? "null" : 
                       ("not null: '" + statusName + "'.")));
    System.err.println("statusValue is " + (statusValue == null ? "null" :
                       ("not null: '" + statusValue + "'.")));
  }
  else if (statusName.isOK() && statusValue.isOK()) {
    pathManager.setURIValue(name, value);
    System.out.println("Everything is fine");
  }
  else {
    if (!statusName.isOK()) {
      System.err.println("statusName is not OK.");
    }
    if (!statusValue.isOK()) {
      System.err.println("statusValue is not OK.");
    }
 }
}
catch (CoreException e) {
  System.err.println("CoreException: " + e.getMessage());
}

Output from program:
statusName is not null: 'Status OK: unknown code=0 OK null'.
statusValue is null
