This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
When importing an Eclipse project that uses a variable in its run configuration, such as "workspace_loc", the string (e.g. "workspace_loc") is imported instead of a corresponding variable or a translation of the variable name into its value (e.g. the path that "workspace_loc" represents.
It should be possible to translate this variable in case of workspace import and perhaps some other ones as well. Considering we will never be able to translate all variables and it will be always a half-way solution I'm lowering to P4.
Later.
