| Eclipse contains a <a href="http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user/reference/preferences/run-debug/ref-string_substitution.htm">string substitution mecanism</a>. This feature allows you to specify a path location that can be shared between developers. |
| |
| Apache IvyDE uses it to find the ivysettings.xml and properties files in both the <a href="preferences.html#settings">global preference page</a> and the <a href="cpc/create.html#localconf">project specific preference page</a>. |
| |
| Using the "Workspace..." button will open a window to choose a file in the workspace. Apache IvyDE will automatically fill the field with the proper variable. |

| <center><img src="images/eclipsevar_workspace.jpg" /></center> |
| |
| Using the "File System..." button will allow you to choose a file in the file system. This path will not be portable. |
| |
| Finally, you can choose to depend on the Eclipse variable system by clicking on "Variable...". |

| <b>Backwards compatibility</b> |
| |
| Previously, Apache IvyDE supported the <tt>project://projectName/path/to/file.ext</tt> protocol. It sill does, but references of this style will be automatically converted in the saved settings to the Eclipse variable way of defining this path: <tt>${workspace_loc:projectName/path/to/file.ext}.</tt> |
