Path to external folder [message #214305]

Hello,
I am trying to setup my java project point to external folder where I
store configuration files, but no matter what I tried I always get
exception: "(The system cannot find the file specified)". It can only
find file if I put it right in the project directory.
Does anyone knows how to set up eclipse to find files located in
external folders? I tried to setup path for my computer and created
variables pointing to a folder, but it didn't work.
Please help.
Thanks.

Can anyone please help me to find out how to reference configuration
files that are outside of project directory. I have external folder
named "config" where I place all my configuration files and would like
to set a reference from eclipse V3.0, but instead always get an error
(check original message for details)
