ClasspathVariableInitializer (Eclipse JDT API Specification)

java.lang.Object
- org.eclipse.jdt.core.ClasspathVariableInitializer

```
public abstract class ClasspathVariableInitializer
extends Object
```
Abstract base implementation of all classpath variable initializers. Classpath variable initializers are used in conjunction with the "org.eclipse.jdt.core.classpathVariableInitializer" extension point.
Clients should subclass this class to implement a specific classpath variable initializer. The subclass must have a public 0-argument constructor and a concrete implementation of initialize.

Since:

2.0

public ClasspathVariableInitializer()
```
    Creates a new classpath variable initializer.
- Method Detail
  - initialize
```
public abstract void initialize(String variable)
```
    Binds a value to the workspace classpath variable with the given name, or fails silently if this cannot be done.
    A variable initializer is automatically activated whenever a variable value is needed and none has been recorded so far. The implementation of the initializer can set the corresponding variable using JavaCore#setClasspathVariable.
    
    Parameters:
    
    variable - the name of the workspace classpath variable that requires a binding
