[GRADLE-1702] Mapping of source folders and linked resources should try to avoid absolute paths (use path variables) Created: 28/Jul/11  Updated: 10/Feb/17  Resolved: 10/Feb/17

 Description   

Currently, if a project has source folders like "../shared-src". This results in a linked resource characterized by an absolute path.

This ends up inside the users .project file which can be quite annoying if that file is commited to a CVS/GIT/SVN/... repo.

Some better solution using path variables needs to be devised to avoid relative paths in users build files to result
in absolute paths in the .project file.

Of course, it may be possible for me to do something on my end (i.e. in Eclipse).

I can imagine automagically turning the returned absolute paths into relative paths.

Anyway, it may be useful to think about this and discuss with you guys before I
implement something.

This feature request makes perfect sense to me.
