Is it possible to read the path to the workspace in mwe2 file.
At work I am working on windows, private on a Mac.
I have the following problem in the mwe2-file

module org.demo02.GenWorkflow
	//Windows
	var  workspacePath = "C:/eclipse/ws/e3.7-redVodoo/demo"
	//Apple
	//var  workspacePath = "/Users/alle/eclipse/ws/redVoodo/demo/"
	var  runtimeProject = "org.demo02"
	var  modelFolder = "model"
	var  modelPath = "${workspacePath}/${runtimeProject}/${modelFolder}"

I am using Mercurial
The problem is, that I must everytime edit after Checkout/Pull
Windows: var workspacePath = "C:/eclipse/ws/e3.7-redVodoo/demo"
Mac: var workspacePath = "/Users/alle/eclipse/ws/redVoodo/demo/"

My Question: Is there a way to read the Path to the workspace?

You could to this by defining the workspacePath variable unbound and pass it through the launch config:

module org.demo02.GenWorkflow
	var  workspacePath

Then open Run/Run Configurations / Mwe2 Launch, select your run config and go to the arguments tab.
There add

 -pwoworkspacePath=${workspace_loc}

to the Program arguments.

This should do the trick.

I have added the argument

-pworkspacePath=${workspace_loc}

I have added it exactly how I have written it above.

I get the following error:
Problems running workflow org.demo02.GenWorkflow: Unsupported path :
C:\eclipse\ws\e3.7-redVodoo/org.demo02/model
(only folders and archives are supported).

The correct Path to Workspace in Windows is: C:\eclipse\ws\e3.7-redVodoo
