relative paths in classpath [message #122114] Wed, 26 November 2003 05:38 Go to next message

Hello,

since I'm not working alone on a project and I have to expect people to have
different path's for their workspaces, I would like to specify relative
paths based on the project root for external jar's.

I ended up changing the ".classpath" file manually to a relative location
based on the project root
....
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/axis.jar"/>
....
however this was fruitless.

Eclipse reports the jar missing at "<projectname>/lib/axis.jar".

Since I expect more people than just me trying to share their project via
CVS shipping with all the build requirements I guess there _is_ a solution
out there. I hope somebody shares his with me ...

I'm using the win32 build of eclipse (2.1.2) btw.

../regards

Florian

Have you tried using classpath variables?

Well thanx Jerome, using variables works. I defined a variable in eclipse
and could use that in the ".classpath" file
....
<classpathentry kind="var" path="BLK_LIBS/axis.jar"/>
....
So my coworkers would now only have to point the variable at the correct
folder and be done with it. However I thought there might be a variable
already set for the root of the project or whatever .. I thought seeing a
project on the web that used relative path's without the need of extra
variables in their eclipse project.
