JAR Export dialog box says: "The export destination will be relative to your workspace.". But when I enter "example.jar" into the "Select the export destination" field, then the created jar file will be in the working directory (where the eclipse application is), not in the workspace.

I think there is no workaround for this, and it would be good if I could export a jar relative to my workspace.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Export/Java/Jar File
2. Enter only a file name in the "Select the export destination" field
3. The created file is in the working directory not in the workspace directory
