Absolute paths stored in .iml

Hi

I'm using a maven multimodule project with JavaEE Application Facet, and the .iml generated looks like this

<module org.jetbrains.idea.maven.project.MavenProjectsManager.isMavenModule="true" type="JAVA_MODULE" version="4">
  <component name="FacetManager">
    <facet type="javaeeApplication" name="JavaEE">
      <configuration>
        <descriptors>
          <deploymentDescriptor name="application.xml" url="file://C:\Daten\workspace\foo\bar\bar-ear/src/main/application/META-INF/application.xml" />
        </descriptors>
      </configuration>
    </facet>
  </component>
... and so forth
</module>

As you can see there is an absolute path there and thus I can't check this into VCS. Can you help me how I can generate a relative path, relative to project or even better module dir?

Alternatively, can you tell me how I can disable the generation of this deployment descriptor? Whenever I re-sync with Maven it pops up again - very annoying!
