Using environment variables within IntelliJ project's properties

Thread view:

I am trying to build project in java using IntelliJ 3.0.
I don't want to use the absolute path in the .ipr file (for the
CLASSPATH variable etc..).
Is it possible to do it (may be using environment variables?)

Thank you in advance,
Eyal

hi,

i don't know wether it fixes your problem, but try the "Use relative classpath" option in
project-settings-dialog-box.

if this does not help you, explain why you want a relative path in the ipr-file?

You didn't ask this from me, but generally it's wise to avoid absolute
paths, because they make the project less portable and less relocatable.
