It must be possible to reference environment variables in classpath. When several persons in a team are working on the same Netbeans project, it's not acceptable that classpath entries use absolute path. Scenario: 1. Person A creates a Netbeans project locally (doesn't matter what kind of project) 2. Person A goes to Tools-Libraries and creates a New Library called MyLibrary. Add a jar file located somewhere locally, e.g. at /home/viggo/.m2/repository/com/sun/faces/portlet/jsf-portlet/1.2/jsf-portlet-1.2.jar The path to the jar file is absolute, and will cause problems for other developers opening the same project from another computer. 3. Person A adds MyLibrary to the Libraries section of the project 4. Person A adds the project to Subversion 5. Person B check out the project from Subversion 6. Person B get the message "Reference Problems" when opening the project 7. When Person B looks at the "Resolve Reference Problems" he can see that the library referred to doesn't exist. A better solution is to reference jar files on classpath using an environment variable. Instead of /home/viggo/.m2/repository/com/sun/faces/portlet/jsf-portlet/1.2/jsf-portlet-1.2.jar it should have been like this $M2_HOME/com/sun/faces/portlet/jsf-portlet/1.2/jsf-portlet-1.2.jar where M2_HOME is an environment variable referring to /home/viggo/.m2/repository Eclipse has this feature, and makes it _much_ easier to share projects among team members in a team.

Reassigning to java for evaluation (I hope it is the right component)
NetBeans refers everything but the libraries in relative path stored in the project.properties. Unfortunately the concept of the project libraries was not included, for more details see issue #44035 *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 44035 ***
Yes, issue #44035.
