File paths in static web project [message #668247]

All:
I'm building my first web site and am using Eclipse + WTP to do so. One annoyance I have is that the only way I can view previews of my site (using the built-in Preview Server) while developing it is to use absolute file references to the resources on my local machine (e.g. D:\httpdocs\css\). This has become problematic because when I upload my files to the web server, all of the file references are invalid and I have to change them manually. I can't imagine this is how most people operate and am wondering how others get around this problem. Ideally, I'd like to use file paths during development that reflect the structure of my (DailyRazor's) web server. So, instead of coding links to css files using "D:\httpdocs\css" I'd like to have Eclipse recognize "/httpdocs/css". FYI: I'm using Helios on Windows 7.
Thanks Much!
