FWIW:
I put other source directories (like the JDK source) in the source path
of my projects. However, when I step into JDK source, JDE cannot find a
project file
so it resets all JDE values to defaults. Then when I step back into my
project
JDE cannot find my source files since they have been reset.
The solution is to either put appropriate copies of the project file in
these
other locations (not a good solution and very hard to manage) or, what I
do,
simply turn off (by commenting out) the reset to default values.
