Description Will McQueen CLA 2009-11-18 01:25:40 EST
Eclipse doesn't seem to allow me to enter a relative path to an external Ant Home. I need to specify a relative path (rather than an absolute path) so that I can check-in my builder's config into a shared Perforce repos.

The Ant Home can be selected by following these steps:
1) Create Java Project
2) Go to project properties
3) Go to "Builders"
4) Create Ant  Builder
5) Edit Ant Builder config. This will open the Edit Configuration Dialog
6) Go to <Classpath> tab
7) Click "Ant Home" button to select an external Ant Home
//exp: Should be able to specify a relative path to the external Ant Home. The path would be relative to the workspace
//act: Only absolute path can be specified

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
