Can working_directory be user specific
I am on a project where they use launch files. Until now there was one developer, but it is the intention that we are going to work with more developers.
At the moment I see in the launch file:
<stringAttribute key="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.WORKING_DIRECTORY" value="/home/john/dev/projects/..."/>
But that is a hardwired user. Is there a way to substitute the home directory of the current user for '/home/john'?

In the Run/Debug Configurations you can set the working directory in the tab Arguments: either set to Default (= project directory) or Other using theworkspace_locvariable.

Because we have to make several environments we prefer something less labour intensive. Thanks anyway.

Many values in a launch configuration can contain 'variables' to set the value.
For the working directory you could use ${system_property:user.home} to get the user.home system property:
<stringAttribute key="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.WORKING_DIRECTORY"
value="${system_property:user.home}/...."/>
The Run Configuration for the launch has a 'Variables' button next to the working directory setting on the 'Arguments' tab which will show you the main variables you can use.
