Description Robert Wenner CLA 2006-12-01 18:08:06 EST 
I'd like to use relative paths in the build path settings.
If Eclipse keeps putting absolute paths in, then I cannot share these settings between different machines (especially not on different platforms). However, build settings should IMHO be shared and be kept under version control.

If I manually edit .classpath and enter eg ../../foo/bar.jar, Eclipse seems to ignore the leading dots and considers I get an error it cannot find /foo/bar.jar
