Project path should be relative so developer can move everything around, both 
projects and the workspace. You can imagine many use cases like having 
different branches.

Right now files like: 
C:\dhbuild\trunk\javacomponents\eclipse_workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclips
e.core.resources\.projects\3rdParty\.location has this string inside: 
C:\dhbuild\trunk\javacomponents\3rdParty

The path should be relative to what?  Project locations are not necessarily
inside the workspace location, so we need to store an absolute path somewhere in
order to find the project contents on startup.

Closing.
