False positive for error: Invalid Ice Home Directory, in IceBuilder Plugin for Eclipse in Linux

In Linux, we get the error "Invalid Ice Home Directory", when setting up the IceBuilder plug in Window-->Preferences->Ice Builder.
This isn't a real error and we can actually get the system to build properly.

I looked through the source code and think I found the error:

File: ice-builder-eclipse/java/IceBuilderPlugin/src/com/zeroc/icebuilderplugin/internal/Configuration.java
Method: private static String getSliceDirectory(String dir)

This method uses File.pathSeparator (":" on Linux) a number of places, instead of File.separator ("/" on Linux). This causes null to be returned from the method which triggers this false error.

Note: I see File.pathSeparator used many places. It didn't check it out in detail, but I suspect this is probably wrong in at least some of these cases as well.

    Hi Stephen,

    Thanks for bringing this up we will fix it in the next release of the plug-in.

    Hi Stephen,

    This bug is fixed in the latest Ice Builder code, but we have not released a new Ice Builder version yet.

    I also created a corresponding issue here: https://github.com/zeroc-ice/ice-builder-eclipse/issues/2

    In the future, please create a GitHub issue directly when reporting Ice Builder bugs.

    Thanks,
    Bernard

    @pheiff Ice Builder for Eclipse v4.1.1 has been released with a fix for this issue.

    I am going to test this out. We still have a critical bug in this plug-in though (see Slice Linux/Windows Inconsistencies). Will test if that got fixed.
