I've done this with my compile stuff. The ant feature is the same as
extdir. So that's what I did... just had the ant compilation module
use the extdir.
I'll be releasing a new vesion of the jde-compile-plus (wish I didn't
have to use that name) stuff soon. The new version includes a macro to
handle relative paths. The compiler funcs revert to tradition funcs
that can be called through a pointer (which allows different funcs to
be used).
The relative path macro could be used across the JDE to apply
relative paths wherever they are needed.
