The enhancement of <property location/> seems to be good candidate.


<property value=3D"my/file.txt"/>
-->  my/file.txt

<property location=3D"my/file.txt"/>
--> path/to/projectbasedir/my/file.txt

<property location=3D"my/file.txt" relative=3D"true"/>
--> my/file.txt

<property location=3D"my/file.txt" relative=3D"true" basedir=3D"my"/>
--> file.txt

<property location=3D"my/file.txt" relative=3D"true" =
basedir=3D"my/dir"/>
--> ../my/file.txt

<property location=3D"my/file.txt" relative=3D"true" basedir=3D".."/>
--> projectbasedir/my/file.txt
