Hi Nic,
I've updated the JDE to handle environment variables in classpaths and was
planning on including relative paths as well. Both will be included in the
next release. Now, at Jason's prompting, I'll probably also add the ability
to include all the jar/lib files in the directories specified by
jde-class-library-dirs.
