Sort of. When you go into the Java build path, select "Link Source..."
and then choose "Variables". From there, you can create a variable (e.g.
WSRoot) that refers to your workspace root. You can use this variable as
the basis for your linked source no matter where your workspace is
installed.

Well, this is exactly what I was doing.
My question was: is it possible to define a linked resource _without_
defining a variable with absolute path.
Look, .project has now something like
<linkedResources>
<link>
<name>linked_folder</name>
<type>2</type>
<locationURI>CURRENT_WA/UtilProject/sharedWebFiles</locationURI >
</link>
</linkedResources>
1. I was hoping there is some "predefined" variable referring to the
current workspace root. Apparently not, so I have to define CURRENT_WA as
a variable referring to my workspace root.
2. But maybe locationURI syntax has some other way to refer to the current
workspace root? After all, it has a special way to refer to variables, so
may be, just may be...

Unfortunately, no. However, the user variable is user-specific so anyone
working on the project that uses another directory structure just has to
set the user variable to point to their root.

It would be nice. Directory management in Eclipse is all over the map;
there are some places where they work relative to the workspace root,
others where the workspace root isn't considered, and on and on.
