                 Key: IVYDE-126
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVYDE-126
             Project: IvyDE
          Issue Type: Improvement
         Environment: Ubuntu 64 discovered
            Reporter: Phil Beiler
            Priority: Minor


It appears that no matter what value  I give as a directory path, the files 
will get retrieved relative to the workspace project directory. If I use 
~/.ivy/[artifact].[ext], it will actually create a tilde (~) directory under my 
project root. If I try /tmp/ivy/[artifact].[ext],  it will remove the leading 
slash and create the tmp directory under the project root.  Try $HOME... that 
creates a cool directory called "$HOME"!
So, is the expected behavior of the plug-in, that everything will be relative 
or inside the project?  It is certainly not obvious when  using $HOME, ~/, 
/tmp, etc.  No warnings, no errors....

[EMAIL PROTECTED] said... Yep this is expected. But it can clearly be improved 
to support  absolute path, I think this deserve a jira issue.
