Description Andrew Niefer CLA 2010-01-22 13:35:50 EST 
Consider a running eclipse, we want to open a file in that running eclipse.
in some directory, we invoke the launcher with --launcher.openFile and pass a relative path.

This new eclipse launcher passes the relative path to the running eclipse but that eclipse won't know how to resolve the path since its current working directory would be different.

The launcher passing off the paths will need to resolve relative paths before sending the open message.
Comment 1 Andrew Niefer CLA 2010-02-08 16:42:02 EST 
This was done as part of bug 301033

Relative paths are resolved first against the current working directory and second against the eclipse program directory (this is a side effect of reusing code).
