IDEA-43164

IDEA 7.0.3 no longer uses $PROJECT_DIR$ in .ipr for paths in VM_PARAMETERS in run/debug configuration
1
Starting with IDEA 7.0.3, this problem has appeared: When creating a shared run/debug configuration that has a VM_PARAMETERS value like "-Djava.library.path=/path/to/project/dir/lib" (needed for picking up native libs when using JNI), the value that is stored in the .ipr is the verbatim absolute path instead of the expected parametrized path, i.e., "-Djava.library.path=$PROJECT_DIR$/lib". This still worked correctly in IDEA 7.0.2. Without the parametrization, the .ipr can no longer be shared among developers without local edits.

Environment: Happens on Windows and Linux. JDK 6u5.

You may workaround the problem with defined path macro lib and use it explicitly: -Djava.library.path=$lib$ Fix will include usage of $PROJECT_DIR$ here.

This is not even remotely a viable workaround. Our team is completely unable to use any release later than 7.0.2 until this major bug is fixed.

Yes, this is a rather debilitating bug. I'd like to see it given a priority higher than "normal". Can you give us any assurance that this will be fixed in 7.0.4? Thanks!
