> if I could enter a relative path or a path containing a variable in the "Jboss Runtime" dialog would help us. We want to save this configuration in subversion and distribute it to developers.
This is 100% impossible. I will explain why.
Only servers can be stored and shared. Runtimes cannot. Servers are initially stored in one file named servers.xml at the following path: ./workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/servers.xml
Servers, however, can be right-clicked and in the properties page can have the option to be stored as separate files. They would then be stored in workspace/servers/YourServername.xml.
Runtimes, however, are not stored in any accessible place at all. Runtimes are stored as one property key inside the file .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.wst.server.core.prefs
There are many other unrelated keys in that file, most of which have nothing to do with a runtime definition.
Runtimes cannot be right-clicked and exported or stored separately. It is 100% impossible in current UI and indeed in current API. There is no option to change where runtimes are stored at all.
