Eclipse project path containing a variable (linked resouces?)

[rookeenator]

Hi,

I need to create a project (java or general project) in Eclipse, which
insists of existing sources. In the creation wizzard I can specify the
path to these sources. However, I want to use a variable within this
path, i.e. VAR_DIR\subdir.

The variable VAR_DIR is defined in Preferences->General->Workspace-

Linked Resources.

Unfortunately Eclipse denies the creation of a project with this path,
because the path must specify a URI scheme.

Any suggestions how to get this done?
Thank you very much in advance.

Kind regards,
Andreas

Create a separate project for each possible value of VAR_DIR.
Add the output folder you need as class folder in the "libraries" tab
of the Java Build Path.

Thanks for your reply. But I think that not really solves my problem.
I think further information will help:
I have a set of projects (~20) with individual preferences. The java
source files of all of these projects are located in a particular
folder in the file system, i.e. "C:\myFiles\". The subfolders are as
follows: "C:\myFiles\project1files", "C:\myFiles\project2files" and so
on...
Now I want to transfer all these files to another computer, so I copy
the eclipse workspace containing the project configuration and all of
the source files. But now the source files shall be located in i.e. "C:
\anotherDirectoy\".
That's why I thought a variable VAR_DIR would be advantageous, which
can be set to the base directory.

Any hints?

Thank you very much.
