Seems our dev setup is not so rare, I think many corporations use Windows on
the metal, and Linux for production/test servers.
Depending on the OS, we need to fix up a few different parameters and setup
resources, so it is not as simple as using a relative path.
I have used a javascript call to determine OS...
${__javaScript((os.name.substr(0,3)=="Win")?"${DATA_PATH_WINDOWS}":"${DATA_PATH_LINUX}")}

Hi,
I also develop on Windows and run mostly on Linux.
Relative paths are working just fine for all of my use cases.
