-settings with relative path names
Submitted by mirko on Thursday, 1 July, 2004 - 09:15
I use Jedit on an external Harddisk, which I use
at work, at customers and at home. It would be nice, if
I could define the -settings propery as follows:

-settings=./.jedit

which wuld put the jedit settings in a directory named
.jedit under the same directory as jedit.jar is located.
At the moment this is not possible. Every relative path is
resolved as relative to the user home (for example c:\dokument and settings\
[username]\.jedit).

If that is not possible, it would be nice, if jedit had a variable, containing its own directory, so that on could type:

-settings=${jedithome}\.jedit

Yes, I know, it is possible to specifie "%CD%" to get the
jedit.jar path on a windows command line. But as I use the
jsmooth (http://jsmooth.sf.net) executable jar wrapper to
get a better integration of jedit with the windws os, this
is not possible.

What is better integrated in Windows with the executable jar wrapper?
