*_loc variables such as resource_loc, project_loc, and container_loc seem limited in their possible uses because of their leading slash. is the leading slash an essential part of the location? bug 18407 highlights a minor issue around this.
The *_loc variables will generate a complete directory string from the root of the disk drive (including drive letter on Window's platform). We can't change this. The "*_path" generate a path relative to the workspace root for use within core. It should only be used when calling core API. It is not meant to be used for concat. with some directory. The format expected by Core is always with a leading slash. This variable would typically be used by Ant script who will call Eclipse tasks and need to past the path of a resource to it. Please reopen if I misunderstood what you wanted.
