Description akochnev 2008-11-18 22:03:54 UTC 
J2SE projects already allow for specifying "Variable" based paths, that is : define a "variable" (e.g. FOO=D:\bar\baz)
in the Tools->Variables dialog, and then specify the path to the jar using the variable as a prefix e.g. instead of
D:\foo\bar\baz\donkey\monkey.jar use FOO\donkey\monkey.jar). 

The same functionality would be great if the jar paths in the Library Manager (Tools-Libraries) could be specified using
the global variables as a prefix.

I apologize for the duplicate submission. 

I saw that you marked the duplicate of issue as an enhancement for 7.0 (and closed it), I moved those attributes to this
issue as well.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
