Description Vladimir Kvashin 2016-10-15 19:08:16 UTC 
The problem is most obvious with ADE users who create a project outside of his/her source root.

Such project contains absolute paths, so as soon as user creates a different ADE label (which resides in a directory with different name), this project can not be used any more.

This prevents many ADE users from using IDE.

The problem can be solved using environment variables.
The very similar problem (concerning code model include paths and so on) has already been fixed that way. I propose to expand use of environment variables to source roots and item paths. This will solve the problem.
