I wish there were some easy way to configure the internal paths of files in a jar to be different than the physical path to the file (relative to the workspace, like it does now).


One possibility is that a jardesc file could include a property which makes the internal paths be the physical paths, but relative to a given directory instead of the project root.
Then if one wanted multiple jars for a project, one could have multiple folders with arbitrary names (eg "dbtool", "bindist", "srcdist", "unittests") that were mirror images of the contents of corresponding jars (which are stored elsewhere)
