"..", and presumably "." are interpreted correctly by the project file
system, relative to the location of the project file.
So for instance I have directory structure like so...
top-level/src
top-level/classes
top-level/lib
and so on, where "top-level" is whatever you want to call you
top-level directory.
>From the prj.el file (which is in "src") I have the following
settings...
'(jde-global-classpath (quote ("../classes" "../lib" "../lib/build")))
which is completely relocatable.
This is important for me, as we have several developers using JDE, so
I tend to check prj.el into CVS, so that I an maintain it for
everyone. Clearly it has to be relocatable.
I run under unix, but several of the developers are using windows, and
it seems to work for both.
Cheers
