Where does eclipse save the classpath variables values?

Question

Eclipse supports configuring classpath variables (Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Build Path -> Classpath Variables):

Where does it store the values?

Please note: This question does not ask for the .classpath file, but rather for the Classpath Variables configuration place. People can share the same .classpath file using variables and still have their classpath variables configured differently.

Answer 1

They're stored in a file in the workspace, normal location is...

workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs

They're stored in a this prefs file which if you open up, will look like...

org.eclipse.jdt.core.classpathVariable.JBOSS_HOME=C\:/DEVELOPMENT/JBoss
org.eclipse.jdt.core.classpathVariable.JDK_HOME=C\:/DEVELOPMENT/Java/jdk1.7.0_1
