cannot specify project_dir-relative path for Tomcat Home?
pertains to intellij ultimate latest ga:
my understanding is that all paths specified within a project are project_dir-relative (and thus portable). I was trying to define a project_dir relative 'tomcat home' in run configs > application servers > tomcat. but:
1) specifying a relative path results in Intellij IDEA bin path being prepended
2) starting with $PROJECT_DIR$ explicitly is same as 1)
3) setting an absolute path persists across computers.
How can i specify a portable tomcat home path?
for context: though inelegant, we found it useful to keep tomcat binary in our project SVN Trunk, under $trunk/some/path/tomcat ($trunk is also project home dir)
thank you,

Well, there isn't much sense making Tomcat home (as well as any other app server home) relative to the project home -- that's because an Application Server configuration is NOT stored in a project, but shared between all the projects on the current machine.
It might not help in your situation, but note that paths to Startup/Shutdown scripts in a local Tomcat run configuration are saved in the project, so if a path is customized pointing to a script under the project root then the $PROJECT_DIR$ will be substituted.
