Do you have an example of how to the .project and .classpath files will
look like?
cheers,

You need to do more than edit the .project and .classpath files. The
variables need to be defined in the workspace. The best way to do this is
from Eclipse itself. You create linked resources from the New->Folder
wizard. Select the Advanced button and check Link to folder in file
system. Use the Variable button to define a variable that points the the
root folder you need to share. The external location will now appear as a
folder in your project. You can use it as a source directory, and output
directory, or use it to add .jar files to the classpath. Check out the
Creating linked rersources page in the Workbench Users Guide.
Classpath variables are the other option. These are limitted in that they
only allow you to add external jar files to the class path. You create
them from the Java Build Path dialog on the Libraries tab. Check out the
Classpath Variables help page in the Java Development User Guide.
Once your project is setup to use the variables. The other developers on
your team each need to define the variable location in their workspace.
