Hi,

I've figured it out. I forgot to set relativeToProperties to 0. Sorry.

I would like to know: is it possible to use the $user.dir for example
and append to it additional paths i.e:
$user.dir=my/dir
tablePath=my/dir/tables

so that:

tablePath=$user.dir/tables is the same as "my/dir/tables" ?

Thanx.
Hugo F.
