Can we have ${SLOEBER_HOME} in .sproject and sloeber.cfg files please

This would add to portability of the projects around systems

All other project settings like include paths, linked resources etc are using env. variables.

The path in .sproject and sloeber.cfg is the only setting that has absolute path left

I changed the files manually and it works, but gets overwritten once you change any other project setting

Strange.
This is how it should work.

Config.mega.board.BOARD.ID=mega
Config.mega.board.BOARD.MENU.cpu=atmega2560
Config.mega.board.BOARD.TXT=${SLOEBER_HOME}/arduinoPlugin/packages/arduino/hardware/avr/1.8.6/boards.txt
Config.mega.compile.sloeber.extra.all=

Looking at the code I see it is a string replace which means potential / \ issues

arduino-eclipse-plugin/io.sloeber.core/src/io/sloeber/core/common/Common.java

Line 244 in b1b8e70

public static String makePathVersionString(File file) {

arduino-eclipse-plugin/io.sloeber.core/src/io/sloeber/core/common/Common.java

Line 241 in b1b8e70

return path.toOSString().replace(sloeberHomePathToString, SLOEBER_HOME_VAR);

In this context I really think I should have mentioned that I am on Windows system...

and that slashes are backslashes ( \ )

I'm on windows to right now.
I'm only trying to say you need an exact string match for it to work.
You do realize you can define SLOEBER_HOME at the OS level?

[PerennialNovice]

Nope, wasn't aware of that...

The nightly has a way better implementation to get ${SLOEBER_HOME} in sloeber.cfg
Still looking how to get ${SLOEBER_HOME} in .sproject
