Eclipse project explorer prefixing latex project names with "P/"

Question

Okay, this has been bugging me for quite some time today : Eclipse's Project Explorer adds a prefix "P/" to some of my projects' name. It happens only in the explorer, as everywhere else the project name appears normally.

I didn't manage to find anything relevant on the subject in the doc' and I don't really know how to google it.

I just reinstalled Eclipse's Platform Binary 3.7.2 along with the CDT and Texlipse plugins on Precise. The prefix "P/" appears only with texlipse projects, or when I open a .tex file inside any project.

So my question is : do you know what it means ? How to get rid or it ?

Answer 1

When you call toString() on a Project you get this. The leading P/ indicates it's a project (it's a convention of all of the Eclipse resources, F/ for file for example). This is probably a problem in the Texlipse plugin where the label provider that they provide to the Project Explorer (Common Nagivgator) is wrong, it's using just the project, instead of project.getName(). You should file a bug with them. There is nothing that you can do about it as a user.
