In the "externals tools" section of Eclipse, it is possible to use variables like "${project_loc}" to specify project locations. This makes it possible to have a few generic launch configurations that can be used for many projects.

This is not possible for the internal M2 launch configurations, I have to use an external maven installation for that. 

Additionally, because we have to resort to using the "external tool" mechanism in Eclipse, we run into http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4770092 for our Jetty launches.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. "Run"
2. "Run Configurations"
3. create a new m2 run configuration
