Well, there certainly *can* be absolute paths, it depends on whether all your jars are relative to the checked-out project or whether you had to go exploring your machine.
I didn't said that is not possible to have absolute paths. :-) True, there certainly *can* be absolute paths, but they are not necessary and can easily be avoided.
But that's a nit. I agree it's certainly possible to carefully construct the necessary files so that all paths are relative, and include all the relevant jars located at those relative path locations.

Are you volunteering? If so, feel free to create a JIRA and attach any patches, I'm sure one of the committers will be happy to make it happen, assuming they approve...
I am curious to know what's the IDE (if any at all) is used by the majority of Lucene/Solr committers. I'll put more effort on this, if the majority of committers are using Eclipse, otherwise it will be of no value for the project. Paolo
Erick But you're right
