Based on commits early today, the notion of the home directory (where working content is stored) and the base directory for the classpath have been separated. Merlin now manages the classpath relative to the directory containing you root block.xml file. This means that you can do the following: $ cd C: $ merlin xxx\yyy\zzz\block.xml Classpath includes under the supplied block.xml will be resolved relative to the "xxx\yyy\zzz" directory (whereas previously this was handled relative to the home directory which defaulted to the current directory). If you want to change the working directory, simply add the -home parameter to the command line and any working content will be resolved relative to the supplied home directory.
