Description converginglight 2011-02-22 12:50:21 UTC 
Project Properties -> Build -> Documenting -> "Additional Javadoc Options"

I am using
    -stylesheetfile ${basedir}/something.css
for this field, but it is resolved to my actual working copy path.

So when I re-open this dialog,
    -stylesheetfile ${basedir}/something.css
becomes
    -stylesheetfile /home/me/blabla/something.css
Comment 1 converginglight 2011-02-22 12:55:45 UTC 
Great, it seems that nearly every project property field is affected. For example also in Project Properties -> Application:
I tried to specify ${basedir} as value for "Homepage" and "Splash Screen"
and after reopening of this dialog, it was converted to /home/me/...
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2011-02-25 03:47:27 UTC 
Using Ant property substitutions in project.properties is supported, but not if you also plan to use the GUI to customize the project.
Comment 3 converginglight 2011-02-25 10:07:49 UTC 
Sorry, I don't fully understand.
You mean I should just edit the project.properties file manually, and then everything would stay?

BTW, Could you please tell me, where javadoc is normally intended to be ran from? Because I tried to pass every possible relative path for a stylesheet (located in "src"), but it seems, that javadoc is ran from my home directory (which I personally would see as a bug).
Comment 4 Martin Balin 2016-07-07 07:18:30 UTC 
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,
NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
